EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Aristocratic Vermin" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an English School's colour litho masterpiece. The image belongs to a private collection and was originally created as an illustration for "The Home Handbook of Domestic Hygiene and Rational Medicine" by J. H. Kellogg in 1902. In this intriguing artwork, we are introduced to a world where fat, itch mites roam freely among aristocratic circles. The artist skillfully portrays these microscopic creatures known as Demodex folliculorum with astonishing detail, highlighting their presence within our bodies. As we delve into the depths of this image, it becomes apparent that health and medicine take center stage. The vermin symbolize the unseen parasites that can affect our well-being if left unchecked. They remind us of the importance of maintaining good hygiene practices and rational medical care. Through this thought-provoking piece, we are compelled to reflect on the intricate workings of our own bodies – from glands to medical conditions such as acarus scabiei (commonly known as scabies). It serves as a reminder that even in seemingly refined environments like those inhabited by aristocracy, there exists a hidden world teeming with lifeforms both beneficial and harmful. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical gem from Fine Art Finder's collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty while contemplating the delicate balance between human health and nature's microscopic inhabitants.
