Verpleegster verzorgt een gewonde Britse militair in een veldhospitaal bij de Tugelarivier, Zuid-Afrika 1900

This stereoscopic photograph, created in 1900 by an anonymous artist, depicts a nurse tending to a wounded British soldier in a field hospital near the Tugela River in South Africa. The image, likely part of a series documenting the Second Boer War, offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of wartime healthcare. The nurse's compassionate gaze and the soldier's weary form create a poignant narrative of suffering and resilience. The stark black and white tones of the photograph further enhance the sense of realism. This image, despite its small size, carries immense historical significance and provides a powerful testament to the bravery and sacrifice of those involved in the conflict.
