EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a glazed ceramic plaque from the late 18th century, depicting "The Origin of Vaccination". Created by the French School in the 18th century, this artwork is part of a private collection and represents an important milestone in medical history. The intricate details on this plaque tell the story of Edward Jenner's groundbreaking discovery. In his pursuit to find a cure for smallpox, Jenner observed that milkmaids who contracted cowpox seemed immune to the deadly disease. This led him to develop the concept of vaccination. In this scene, we see a doctor carefully examining a milkmaid's arm while holding a pail filled with cow's milk. The milkmaid herself appears calm and composed as she undergoes inoculation against smallpox. This moment captures both the significance and complexity of early medical research. The artist skillfully portrays various elements such as cowpox, medicine bottles, and scientific instruments surrounding them. These symbols emphasize not only Jenner's pioneering work but also highlight how crucial it was to inspect every aspect related to immunization. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, let us reflect on its historical importance. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit for better health and our ability to overcome diseases through scientific advancements like vaccines.
