EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1880 captures a scene of leech fishing, showcasing the intricate process of these blood-sucking creatures ingesting blood. The detailed depiction shows several men engaged in this unusual activity, with one man holding a large wicker basket filled with leeches. The image offers a glimpse into the practices of the past when leeches were used for medicinal purposes to improve physical health. The composition and shading in this engraving by an unknown artist are truly remarkable, highlighting the skill and artistry involved in creating such intricate works. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure as he carefully handles the leeches. Through this historical artwork, we are transported back to a time when traditional methods of healing were prevalent, shedding light on how people interacted with nature and utilized its resources for their well-being. The presence of horses and other elements in the background further immerses us in this bygone era. Overall, this print is not only visually striking but also serves as a window into a fascinating aspect of history that may be unfamiliar to many today.
