EDITORS COMMENTS
The chromolithograph print captures a poignant moment in medical history, as a sick child is visited at home by the doctor in 1871. The scene depicts the doctor carefully examining the young patient, asking to see his tongue and taking his pulse at the wrist. The mother and a younger sibling anxiously look on, their faces filled with concern. Illustrated by Oscar Pletsch, a German illustrator known for his work in children's books, this image beautifully conveys the tender care and attention given to the sick child. In an era before modern medicine, such house calls were essential for providing treatment and comfort to those in need. The details of the illustration evoke a sense of nostalgia for a time when doctors made house visits and families relied on their expertise to heal their loved ones. It serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion and dedication in healthcare, values that remain timeless even today. This print not only showcases Pletsch's artistic talent but also highlights the enduring bond between patients, caregivers, and medical professionals throughout history. It is a touching portrayal of humanity's resilience in times of illness and adversity.
