ABSTRACT
The Graphic was a nineteenth century popular magazine, somewhat similar to the London Illustrated News, and from time to time carried various illustrations of a medical or nursing nature, such as that of the Red Cross Nurse in 1870, which was by a Mr H Weigall, and was ‘put on exhibition for the benefit of the Distressed French Peasantry’. The recent war referred to by the Graphic was the Franco-Prussian War which the French lost, and after which Emperor Napoleon III was exiled and died in England. The second illustration is from a later edition of the Graphic (September 1876) and is entitled The Red Cross Quarters in the Field.
