EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a dedicated and tireless nurse from a military hospital during the First World War. Taken by renowned British photographer F.J. Mortimer in 1917, this image is part of a series of character sketches exhibited at the London Salon of Photography and later published in The Graphic. Mortimer's photographs were known for their ability to capture the essence of the familiar types of the Great War, and this image of a nurse is no exception. The nurse is seen wearing the traditional uniform of the time, complete with a starched white cap, long-sleeved blouse, and a flowing cape. Her expression is one of quiet determination and compassion, reflecting the selflessness and courage of the nurses who worked tirelessly to care for the wounded soldiers on the front lines. The nurse's hands are folded in her lap, suggesting a moment of respite amidst the chaos of the hospital ward. The backdrop of the photograph is simple, with the nurse positioned against a plain white wall, drawing the focus to her and her story. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the crucial role that nurses played during the First World War, providing medical care and emotional support to the soldiers who were risking their lives on the battlefield. This photograph is a valuable historical record of the sacrifices made by nurses during the war, and serves as a tribute to their unwavering dedication and commitment to their patients. The image is a powerful reminder of the human spirit and the enduring power of compassion and care in times of crisis.
