EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Sir Joseph Lister, the renowned English surgeon and pioneer of antiseptic surgery, on his ward round at Glasgow Royal Infirmary around 1867. In this momentous image, we see Lister accompanied by an assistant holding his steam spray device, which emitted carbolic acid-laden steam to prevent infections in surgical wounds.
Lister's groundbreaking work in promoting hygiene and sterilization revolutionized the field of medicine, as he was able to proudly announce that his wards had been free of sepsis for an impressive nine months. His dedication to cleanliness and meticulous attention to detail saved countless lives and set a new standard for surgical practices.
In a touching display of compassion, we witness a young patient handing Lister her broken doll during the ward round. Without hesitation, Lister skillfully sews the doll's leg back on, showcasing not only his surgical expertise but also his kindness towards those under his care.
This remarkable snapshot from history serves as a testament to Sir Joseph Lister's enduring legacy as a visionary medical pioneer whose innovative techniques continue to shape modern healthcare practices.
