EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history when Queen Anne touched young Samuel Johnson for the evil. In the 18th century, Samuel Johnson contracted scrofula, also known as the Kings Evil, a condition believed to be curable if touched by a monarch. This engraving from Cassells Illustrated History of England, published around 1890, showcases this extraordinary event. The image portrays Queen Anne gently laying her hands on the young boy's neck while he looks up at her with hopeful eyes. The belief in the royal touch or thaumaturgic touch was deeply ingrained in society during that time, and it held great significance for those suffering from this disease. Samuel Johnson's encounter with royalty symbolizes both his personal struggle and the power attributed to monarchy. It serves as a reminder of how people sought solace and healing through unconventional means in an era where medical knowledge was limited. Ken Welsh's archival photograph beautifully captures this historical moment, offering us a glimpse into an old period filled with beliefs and practices that may seem foreign to us today. As we admire this vintage illustration, let it remind us of our progress in understanding diseases and medical conditions while appreciating how far we have come since then.
