EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Painting a wound with an antiseptic solution, c1890" takes us back to the 19th century in France. The image showcases a concept that was revolutionary for its time - the application of antiseptic solutions on wounds to prevent infection and promote healing. In this vividly colored engraving, we see a male figure carefully tending to his injured arm. His body language reflects both pain and determination as he delicately applies the antiseptic solution onto his bleeding wound. This scene not only highlights the importance of medicine and science during this period but also emphasizes the resilience of individuals in overcoming adversity. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Jules Rengade, whose work often focused on capturing significant medical practices of his era. Through his meticulous attention to detail, Rengade transports us into a world where scientific advancements were transforming traditional approaches to healthcare. As we gaze upon this historical print from Les Grands Maux et les Grands Remedes (The Principal Illnesses and Their Remedies), we are reminded of how far we have come in our understanding of medicine and treatment methods. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit of finding better ways to heal ourselves. This extraordinary photograph is part of the Oxford Science Archive collection held by Print Collector1, preserving invaluable glimpses into our past for generations to come.
