In this image, we see wounded German officers in the Germany military hospital at Versailles being given fresh air and sunshine to aid their recovery.

Amidst the chaos of war, Home brings solace and hope to these brave soldiers through his spiritual healing practices. As he reads to them, one can sense a serene atmosphere enveloping the room. The power of faith and spirituality becomes evident as it intertwines with science and medicine in an effort to restore health.

It serves as a reminder that even amidst destruction, humanity finds ways to heal both physically and spiritually. Daniel Dunglas Home's presence highlights how religion and spirituality played an essential role for soldiers seeking comfort during times of distress. This image encapsulates the resilience of individuals facing adversity while showcasing Home's occupation as a medium who provided solace during wartime. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from 19th-century London, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the unwavering dedication towards healing wounds—both seen and unseen—in an era marked by conflict between nations.
