EDITORS COMMENTS
"In this historic photograph, taken in the bustling streets of London around 1905, we see a scene that was once commonplace but is now a relic of the past. Before the introduction of ambulances, transporting patients in need of urgent medical attention was a challenging task. In this image, we see a group of men carefully lifting a stretcher carrying a patient onto a horse-drawn carriage. The horse, harnessed and ready to go, stands patiently as the team prepares to set off. The proposal to establish and maintain a street ambulance service, put forward to Parliament in 1905, aimed to provide cover for a 3-mile radius from Charing Cross. The estimated cost of this service was a significant 13,000 pounds. This proposal was a significant step towards improving the healthcare system of the time, as the lack of reliable transportation for the sick and injured was a major issue. Despite the progress made, this photograph serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by those who required medical assistance before the advent of modern ambulance services. The horse and carriage may have been the best option available at the time, but it was far from ideal, especially in the busy and congested streets of London. The introduction of ambulances revolutionized the way patients were transported, making a significant difference in their chances of survival and recovery." This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of medical transport in London before the introduction of ambulances. It is available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, a reputable source for historical images.
