EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bas-relief engraving from the 19th century, depicting King Charles's porter and dwarf. The image, part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the historical context of old England and London. The composition is digitally cleaned to enhance its intricate details, allowing us to appreciate the artistry behind this piece. It was originally created as an illustration for Walter Thornbury's book "Old and New London" which aimed to provide readers with authentic insights into the city's past. Intriguingly, this artwork sheds light on deformity and illness prevalent during that era. The presence of Asklepios, the Greek god associated with healing and medicine, suggests that health concerns were not uncommon in society at that time. From flu to sexually transmitted diseases like venereal disease (STDs), infectious ailments plagued individuals across various social strata. By examining such historical artifacts, we gain valuable knowledge about medical science advancements throughout history. This image serves as a reminder of how far healthcare has come since then – from limited medical services to modern-day comprehensive care. As we marvel at this extraordinary portrayal of King Charles's porter and his dwarf companion, let us reflect on their resilience amidst physical challenges. Their story reminds us of the importance of compassion towards those affected by maladies or deformities while appreciating our own good health in today's world.
