EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Trepanning" takes us back to the late 19th or early 20th century, showcasing a French educational card. The image depicts an intricate medical procedure known as trepanning, also referred to as trephination. In this scene, we are transported into an operating theatre where a skilled surgeon is performing the delicate surgery on a patient's head. The atmosphere is filled with intensity and focus as the doctor carefully wields his drill, aiming to create a small hole in the skull for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. The print not only highlights the technical aspects of trepanning but also emphasizes its significance in healthcare and medicine during that era. It serves as a reminder of how far medical practices have evolved over time. Interestingly, this educational card was part of Chocolat Carpentier's collection - perhaps an unexpected pairing between science and confectionery. This intriguing combination adds another layer of curiosity to the image, raising questions about why such cards were associated with sweet shops or candy stores. Overall, this chromolitho print offers us a glimpse into both historical medical practices and societal curiosities surrounding them. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity in seeking knowledge and improving healthcare throughout history.
