Compressed triangular bandage
Bandages continue to be a staple of first aid kits today, but during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century illustrated triangular bandages were created to show their different uses, with as many as 116 different applications. This example is wrapped up small, ready to be carried in a first aid kit.
