Plate XI
Description
English: Plate XI from An Atlas of Gas Poisoning by the American Red Cross and Medical Research Committee (American Red Cross, 1918).


Plate title: PLATE NO. XIA "Severely burned eye in the acute stage." Text begins: "Early in the second day after exposure to mustard gas vapour the eyelids and the external surface of the globe show an intense inflammatory reaction. ... "

Plate title: PLATE NO. XIB "Slightly later stage of acute burning." Text begins: "The swelling in the conjunctiva above and below has subsided, but the vascular injection remains, and the solid white oedema in the palpebral aperture is still well marked."


The American Red Cross published this guide for the American Expeditionary Force in World War I, sometimes called the "chemists’ war." The chromolithograph plates of characteristic injuries were intended to help inexperienced officers identify the type of gas used in attacks.
