Four Bearers and Patient (1 of 6) - A Historical Method of Carrying a Patient in an Edwardian Era Ambulance This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a remarkable scene from the early days of medical aid transport. The image, titled "Four Bearers and Patient (1 of 6)," depicts four uniformed men carefully carrying a patient on a stretcher, with the aid of splints and other supportive equipment. The year is 1908, and the setting is an ambulance during the Edwardian era. The men, likely para-medics or bearers, demonstrate the intricate and labor-intensive process of transporting an injured or ill person from the scene of an accident or their home to a hospital. The patient, who appears to be in a state of distress, is being supported by the bearers with great care and attention. The men's uniforms, with their high collars and buttoned-up coats, add to the historical context of the photograph. The use of splints and other supportive devices indicates that the patient may have had a fracture or other injury that required special attention during transport. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing insight into the methods used for medical aid transport during a time before the widespread availability of modern ambulances and medical equipment. It serves as a reminder of the dedication and hard work of those who provided medical assistance during the early 20th century. The photograph, with its rich history and intriguing subject matter, is an essential addition to any collection focusing on medical history, social history, or the history of emergency services. It is not to be used for commercial purposes and is available for research, educational, and personal use through Mary Evans Prints Online.
