Sisters of Charity (St. Benoit), in the new Hospital, at Pera, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Sisters of Charity (St. Benoit), in the new Hospital, at Pera, 1854. French nuns nursing soldiers during the Crimean War, at Istanbul. In the hospital at Pera, there are four of the Sisters, who as soon as they heard that cholera had set in, offered their services...The hospital in which the Sisters are thus engaged is a building erected near the Champ des Morts...2000 men may be received in the magnificent wards...The corridors are so large, and so well lighted, that comfortable wards could be made of them, if required, and then 2000 more might be accommodated...The Sisters not only go, at any time, day or night, miles off to attend the sick on the Turkish side, they also attend the prisons, &c, carrying to the prisoners money and clothes'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
