EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Favus" showcases the artistic talent of the Norwegian School in the 19th century. Created by Daniel Cornelius Danielssen, a renowned figure in dermatology, this print offers a unique glimpse into the world of medical illustration. The image depicts a child suffering from favus, a parasitic skin disease commonly known as ringworm. The infected areas on the child's scalp are clearly visible, showcasing the severity and impact of this dermatological condition. Through intricate detailing and delicate coloring techniques, Danielssen effectively captures both the physical manifestations and emotional toll that such diseases can have on individuals. This engraving serves as an important historical document, shedding light on medical knowledge and practices during its time. It not only highlights scientific advancements but also emphasizes society's growing interest in understanding and treating various ailments. Preserved within a private collection and made available through eArchives Charmet, this artwork continues to educate viewers about dermatitis and tinea favosa while reminding us of our progress in combating such infections. As we admire this piece today, it is crucial to acknowledge its significance beyond mere aesthetics – it represents human resilience against adversity and our ongoing pursuit of better health for all.
