EDITORS COMMENTS
"NEW YORK: CAMP WIKOFF, 1899. Surgeon General Sternberg and Chief Surgeon Colonel Forwood at Camp Wikoff, at Montauk Point, Long Island, New York, where soldiers returning from the Spanish-American War were quarantined. Photograph, 1899". In this photograph taken in 1899 at Camp Wikoff on Montauk Point in New York, we witness a significant moment in history during the aftermath of the Spanish-American War. The image showcases two distinguished figures - Surgeon General Sternberg and Chief Surgeon Colonel Forwood - standing proudly amidst rows of tents that make up the camp. The scene captures an atmosphere of both resilience and compassion as these medical professionals oversee the quarantine process for soldiers returning from battle. Dressed immaculately in their military uniforms with crisp hats atop their heads, they exude authority and expertise. The backdrop reveals a sprawling field hospital with its commissary tent nearby. This temporary settlement became a safe haven for those affected by war-related illnesses or injuries. The late 19th-century clothing worn by the men further transports us back to a time when turn-of-the-century America was grappling with its newfound global influence. This powerful snapshot serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during times of conflict while also highlighting humanity's ability to come together in moments of crisis. Preserved through time by Granger Art on Demand's collection, this photograph offers us an invaluable glimpse into our
