EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraving captures a poignant scene from the Crimean War, a conflict that shaped history and brought about significant changes in military medicine. The image showcases the Hospital and Cemetery at Scutari, also known as the Selimiye Barracks, during this tumultuous period between 1853 and 1856. In November 1854, Florence Nightingale arrived in Scutari with her dedicated team of volunteer nurses. Their arrival marked a turning point for the wounded soldiers who had suffered greatly due to inadequate medical care. With compassion and unwavering dedication, Nightingale and her nurses tirelessly cared for thousands of injured and infected soldiers until she returned home in 1857 as a celebrated heroine. Tragically, around 6,000 soldiers lost their lives within the walls of Selimiye Barracks during the war. Most succumbed to a devastating cholera epidemic that ravaged through their ranks. These fallen heroes found their final resting place at Haydarpasa Cemetery, adjacent to the barracks. This antique print not only serves as an artistic representation but also stands as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those involved in this historic conflict. It reminds us of both the horrors endured by these soldiers on foreign soil and the remarkable efforts made by individuals like Florence Nightingale to alleviate their suffering.
