EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this image of an MAB First Ambulance Interior, one of the earliest horse-drawn vehicles operated by London's Metropolitan Asylums Board in the 1880s. This ambulance was specifically designed for transporting fever and smallpox patients to and from the Board's hospitals, providing essential medical care during a time when these diseases were rampant. The interior of the ambulance reveals a simple yet functional space, with two stretchers neatly arranged lengthwise, allowing for the transportation of two patients at once. An attendant, dressed in protective clothing, is seen standing between the stretchers, ensuring the comfort and safety of the patients during their journey. The poverty and housing conditions of the Victorian era are evident in the worn-out interior of the ambulance, which reflects the challenging circumstances faced by many during this period. The use of a horse-drawn vehicle was a significant improvement from the unsanitary and often inadequate transport methods available at the time. The historical significance of this ambulance is further emphasized by its association with the Metropolitan Asylums Board, an organization responsible for the care and treatment of the sick and destitute in London's workhouses and hospitals. The Board's establishment of this ambulance service marked an important step towards improving the health and wellbeing of the city's most vulnerable residents. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the history of medical care and transportation during the Victorian era. The ambulance's sturdy wheels, wooden doors, and worn-out interior serve as a reminder of the hardships and challenges faced by those who lived through this period, while also highlighting the resilience and determination of those who worked to provide essential care and support.
