EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph captured by Alejandro de Riquer in 1915, we are transported to the heart of World War I in France. The image portrays a wounded soldier and his dedicated nurse at a dressing station, showcasing the crucial role of first aid during times of conflict. The soldier's weary face tells a story of pain and sacrifice, while the nurse's compassionate gaze reveals her unwavering commitment to providing care amidst chaos. Their partnership symbolizes the resilience and humanity that can emerge even in the darkest moments. Riquer, a Spanish Catalan painter and draftsman, masterfully captures the raw emotions within this scene through his artistic lens. His attention to detail brings forth an atmosphere filled with tension, yet also underscores the importance of hope and healing. This powerful snapshot serves as a reminder of the countless casualties endured during World War I. It pays tribute not only to those who fought bravely on the front lines but also to those unsung heroes who selflessly tended to their wounds. As we reflect upon this image from over a century ago, let us honor all those who have served as healers in times of war. May it inspire us to appreciate our modern advancements in medicine while never forgetting the sacrifices made by those before us.
