Description

The Mystery of Isabella and the String of Beads: A Woman Doctor in WW1It was the inscription that made the antique scalpels so tantalising: 'Isabella Stenhouse'. A woman doctor? A woman doctor who was rumoured to have served in the First World War? Could Isabella have treated wounded men with these very implements? And had a grateful German prisoner of war really given her the strange string of beads that tangled round her stethoscope? Coaxing clues from archives across Europe, Katrina Kirkwood traces Isabella's route

It was the inscription that made the antique scalpels so tantalising: 'Isabella Stenhouse'. A woman doctor? A woman doctor who was rumoured to have served in the First World War? Could Isabella have treated wounded men with these very implements? And had a grateful German prisoner of war really given her the strange string of beads that tangled round her stethoscope?

Coaxing clues from archives across Europe, Katrina Kirkwood traces Isabella's route from medical school to the Western Front, Malta and Egypt, discovering as she travels that Dr Stenhouse was not only one of the first women doctors who worked with the British Army - she was also a woman carrying a tragic secret, torn between ambition and loyalty to her family.

Isabella's story was selected for the BBC Antiques Roadshow's WW1 centenary edition, and featured by national, international and local media.

Brother sublimation ink
Color: 4-Color
I have the Brother sublimation printer and need these specific ink cartridges from Brother...got just what I wanted. Fast shipping as well....only thing is that I wish it was all shipped in a box and not an unpadded bag....it was really beat up. I think the cartridges ae ok but the little display individual boxes they are in are damaged and the shipping bag was wrecked. UPS is really hard on their handling!

Love Brothers Sublimation Ink.
Color: 4-Color, Color: 4-Color
We use it exclusively in my shop in my Brother Sublimation printer. As you can see from the picture. The print quality can’t be beat, colors quality is outstanding details pop. It’s easy to install in the printer. A great value for the money and paired with the Brother printer the pair’s performance is excellent!
