EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of a Red Cross Nurse during World War I, showcasing her dedication and compassion in the midst of turmoil. The nurse is depicted wearing the iconic red cross armband, symbolizing her commitment to providing aid and comfort to those in need on the battlefield. Her steely gaze conveys strength and resilience, a testament to the challenges she faced during this tumultuous period in history.
The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the intricate folds of her uniform to the subtle expression on her face. This anonymous artist has skillfully captured not just a moment in time, but also a profound sense of duty and sacrifice that defined so many women who served as nurses during WWI.
Published as a postcard in 1915, this portrait by Vivian Mansell serves as a poignant reminder of the selflessness and bravery exhibited by these unsung heroes. It stands as a tribute to all those who risked their lives to care for others amidst chaos and destruction.
The Peter & Dawn Cope Collection has preserved this historical gem, allowing us to reflect on the invaluable contributions made by Red Cross Nurses during one of humanity's darkest hours. This print is more than just a picture – it is a powerful symbol of hope and humanity enduring even in times of war.
