EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1925 showcases the importance of ultraviolet rays in treating smallpox scars. The anonymous illustration, part of a private collection, depicts a scene where patients are being treated in rooms or entering spaces illuminated only by red light to avoid exposure to harmful ultraviolet rays. In an era when medical knowledge about diseases was limited, this image highlights the early understanding of the role that ultraviolet rays played in scar formation. Doctors and caregivers recognized that protecting patients from these rays could prevent further damage and aid in their recovery. The composition of the image draws attention to the care given to each patient. A doctor stands attentively near an aisle, overseeing the treatment process with utmost precision. The use of colour is striking - shades of black and white emphasize both the physicality of illness and the energy required for healing. Stefano Bianchetti's artistic touch brings this historical moment to life, reminding us how far we have come in our understanding and treatment of diseases like smallpox. This thought-provoking piece serves as a testament to human progress in healthcare over time.
