EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history during World War I. In this rare image, we witness horses receiving medical care for the first time amidst the chaos of war. The scene depicts a special veterinary hospital established by the A. V. C. , showcasing humanity's compassion towards these noble animals. Published in 1934 as part of "The Pageant of the Century" this archival print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during that tumultuous era. As soldiers fought on the frontlines, their loyal equine companions were not forgotten. These hospitals provided much-needed respite and healing to injured horses, offering them a chance at survival. The composition exudes an air of solemnity and hope simultaneously. The worn-out expressions on both horse and caretaker reveal the toll taken by war, while also reflecting determination to save lives against all odds. Through this historical illustration, we gain insight into how veterinary medicine evolved during wartime, forever changing our approach to animal care. Welsh artist Ken has beautifully captured this pivotal moment from World War I with meticulous detail and sensitivity. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece but also a testament to human empathy even in times of turmoil. As we reflect upon our past, let us remember those who selflessly cared for creatures great and small – heroes whose stories deserve recognition alongside those who fought bravely on battlefields.
