EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a poignant moment during the American Civil War. In the midst of chaos and destruction, a Confederate Army physician is seen diligently measuring the pulse of a wounded soldier. The wood engraving, taken from an American newspaper in 1863, showcases the dedication and compassion that these medical professionals displayed on the battlefield. The interior setting reveals a makeshift field hospital where injured soldiers sought solace and treatment. The uniformed surgeon stands beside his patient's cot, carefully examining his pulse with utmost concentration. Surrounding them are other men in various states of injury, highlighting the immense toll that war takes on its participants. The image evokes emotions of both admiration for those who selflessly cared for others amidst such turmoil, as well as sadness for the suffering endured by those caught in this brutal conflict. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during one of America's darkest periods. Notably, one soldier can be seen with an amputated leg fitted with a peg leg - a stark representation of how war forever alters lives physically and emotionally. Additionally, hand tools like saws and hacksaws visible in the background serve as reminders of primitive medical practices at that time. This print provides us with an intimate glimpse into history - it immortalizes not only this particular scene but also pays tribute to all those who served their country during this tumultuous period known as the Civil War.
