EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the chaos and urgency of a World War I first-aid station. Painted by renowned French artist Lucien Jonas in 1927, this artwork depicts stretcher-bearers and wounded soldiers arriving at the station during the tumultuous years of the Great War (1914-1918). Lucien Jonas, who served as an official war artist, dedicated his talents to documenting scenes from the trenches and battlefields of the Western Front. His extensive body of work provides a poignant glimpse into the harsh realities faced by those involved in one of history's deadliest conflicts. In this particular painting, we see brave men carrying injured comrades on stretchers, their faces etched with determination and exhaustion. The monochrome palette adds to the somber atmosphere, emphasizing both the gravity of their mission and their unwavering commitment to saving lives. The first-aid station itself is depicted as a bustling hub of activity, where medical personnel attend to patients with utmost care amidst chaotic surroundings. This powerful image serves as a testament to human resilience in times of crisis. Preserved within Library of Congress' popular graphic arts collection, this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon the sacrifices made during World War I while honoring those who risked everything for others on distant battlefields.
