📕 Hospital Sketches 📕

Louisa May Alcott served as a Union Army nurse for 6 weeks in Washington DC at the end of 1862. That time, cut short by a case of typhoid pneumonia, inspired her book Hospital Sketches- a short novel both humorous + devastatingly sad.

These are photos of what her world might have looked like during that time
