EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving captures the heartbreaking reality of a three-year-old child suffering from rickets, a debilitating disorder caused by vitamin D deficiency. The image portrays the fragility and vulnerability of childhood, highlighting the devastating impact that this disease can have on young lives. The child's weakened bones and skeletal deformities are evident in their frail figure, serving as a stark reminder of the importance of proper nutrition and healthcare during early development. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for "La Femme, Medecin du Foyer" by Anna Fischer in the late 19th century. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the critical role that medical science plays in addressing such childhood diseases. It serves as a poignant call to action for improved access to healthcare services and medical supplies for children around the world. The presence of Asklepios, symbolizing healing and medicine in Greek mythology, further emphasizes our collective responsibility to protect and care for our youngest generation. This image urges us to prioritize physical health and well-being among children through comprehensive healthcare systems. In collaboration with Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print serves as both a historical document and a catalyst for change. It compels us to confront these harsh realities while inspiring us towards greater efforts in promoting healthier futures for all children.
