EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting engraving from the 19th century captures a chilling scientific experiment on animals infected with rabies. The image depicts a lone scientist in a dimly lit room, surrounded by cages filled with rabbits and other creatures afflicted by this deadly viral disease. Rabies, also known as Hydrophobia, causes acute inflammation of the brain and is transmissible from animals to humans through bites. The madness induced by this illness is evident in the wild eyes of the infected animals as they are subjected to examination and study. The scene conveys a sense of urgency and desperation as the scientist works tirelessly to understand and combat this terrifying affliction. Each animal serves as a tragic test subject in the quest for knowledge that could potentially save countless lives. This engraving serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by both humans and animals in the pursuit of medical advancements. It is a testament to our enduring struggle against infectious diseases throughout history. As we gaze upon this historical print, we are reminded of the sacrifices made in the name of science and medicine, urging us to continue pushing boundaries and seeking solutions for even the most challenging health crises.
