EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1906, captures the Ether Monument located in the Public Garden of Boston, Massachusetts, United States. The monument, dedicated to the discovery of ether as an anesthetic, stands as a testament to the advancements in medicine during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The statue, designed by sculptor Henry Hudson Kitson, depicts a physician, John Quincy Adams Ward, administering ether to a patient, symbolizing the 'Good Samaritan' from the Parable of the Good Samaritan in the New Testament's Gospel of Luke. The monument's inscription reads, 'In Memory of the Discovery of Ether Anesthesia by Crawford Long M.D. 1842.' The dry plate negative, produced by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the intersection of science, medicine, and religion in American society during this era. The monument, a significant heritage art piece, continues to stand as a symbol of progress, innovation, and compassion in the heart of Boston.
