EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Empress Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, wife of Kaiser Wilhelm II, making a compassionate visit to a hospital train in Berlin during the tumultuous period of the First World War. Dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, the Empress dons a practical hat as she carefully inspects the medical facilities on board, ensuring that the wounded soldiers receive the best possible care. Surrounded by attentive soldiers, both in uniform and in medical garb, she exudes a sense of calm and determination, her expression reflecting her unwavering dedication to the wellbeing of her people. The train, adorned with the Imperial eagle and the cross of the Red Cross, is stationed on a railway track, with the pointed helmets of the soldiers and the steam from the locomotive adding to the sense of industry and purpose. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the humanitarian efforts that took place during this time of conflict, and the resilience and compassion of those who worked tirelessly to provide care and support to the soldiers on the front lines.
