EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Sputum with tubercular bacillus, enlarged under a microscope" takes us back in time to the late 19th or early 20th century. The image showcases the remarkable advancements made in microbiology during this period and highlights the crucial research subjects that contributed to our understanding of diseases. The photograph captures a microscopic view of sputum containing tubercular bacillus, magnified for detailed examination. Tuberculosis, a highly contagious bacterial infection affecting the lungs, was prevalent during this era and posed significant public health challenges. This visual representation provides an invaluable insight into the morphology and characteristics of these disease-causing bacteria. The photographer behind this extraordinary piece is Giorgio Roster. His meticulous attention to detail allows viewers to appreciate not only the scientific significance but also the artistic beauty within microbiological slides. Through his lens, he invites us into a world where mathematical and natural sciences converge seamlessly. This photograph belongs to Alinari's collection on general biology - an extensive archive dedicated to preserving historical records related to various scientific disciplines. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and its commitment towards combating infectious diseases. While we cannot overlook the commercial potential such prints may hold today, it is important not to overshadow their intrinsic value as educational tools or historical artifacts. Instead, let us marvel at how far we have come since this image was captured between 1888-1915 – from rudimentary microscopes used by pioneers like Roster to cutting-edge technologies employed in modern laboratories worldwide. In essence, this striking print encapsulates both scientific curiosity and human resilience in unraveling nature's mysteries while reminding us that progress often rests upon humble beginnings.
