EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Dr Parke sucking the Poison from the Wound in Lieutenant Stairss Side, received from a Poisoned Arrow at Abousheeba" transports us back to 19th-century Africa during a time of military conflict and tribal encounters. The image captures a pivotal moment of bravery and medical expertise as Dr Parke tends to Lieutenant Stairs, who has fallen victim to a poisoned arrow. The intensity of the scene is palpable; Dr Parke leans over Lieutenant Stairs' side, his face etched with determination as he delicately removes the toxic substance from the wound. The lieutenant's pain is evident on his face, yet there is also an air of trust and hope as he relies on the doctor's skillful intervention. The artist masterfully portrays not only the physical act of healing but also highlights themes such as sacrifice, camaraderie, and resilience. This engraving serves as a testament to both medical ingenuity and human compassion amidst adversity. Published in The Graphic in April 1890, this illustration offers viewers an insight into historical medical practices while shedding light on colonial encounters in Africa during that era. It reminds us of the invaluable role played by doctors like Dr Parke who risked their own safety to save lives on foreign soil. Through this print, we are invited to reflect upon our shared humanity and appreciate those individuals who dedicate themselves selflessly for others' well-being – even under challenging circumstances.
