The scene shows a nurse with two doctors. One man is seated in front of a microscope (several others are in view as well), and the other man is standing, about to take a bottle of something from a wall rack holding dozens of bottles. Dimensions are for the image only.
The scene is of an "old time blood transfusion" at Bellevue Hospital in the 1870's. There are several nurses and doctors in attendance, and the man giving blood is seated upright in a chair. This image is not an original from the 19th century. It is a modern print of an original that is either lost or no longer exists.
