Drawn by Fabien Fabiano for the 1915 issue of La Baïonnette, this spread gathers a series of small scenes around a bold red cross, each capturing a different facet of wartime nursing. The illustrations move from quiet conversations to quick moments of comfort, revealing how medical care relied as much on presence and steadiness as on skill.
Among the vignettes, a bedside exchange offers the clearest expression of the plate’s spirit: a nurse leaning close to reassure a wounded soldier, “You will heal here.” The line distills the mixture of duty, tenderness, and resolve that shaped the daily rhythm of First World War hospitals.
A richly composed portrayal of nursing as both labor and refuge within the broader landscape of war.
