EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Pompeii, Italy. It showcases a remarkable collection of surgical instruments discovered in the physicians' home during an archaeological excavation around 1909. The unknown creator beautifully captured these artifacts that offer a glimpse into the medical practices of ancient Rome. Displayed in the National Archaeological Museum, Naples, these well-preserved tools serve as a testament to the advanced knowledge and skills possessed by Roman doctors over two millennia ago. From scalpels to forceps, each instrument tells its own story of healing and innovation. The photograph itself is presented on a Sun Sculpture stereoscope made by Underwood & Underwood, adding depth and dimensionality to this historical snapshot. The Rose Stereograph Company has expertly reproduced this image for viewers worldwide to appreciate. As we observe this vintage print, we are transported back to a different era where medicine was practiced with limited resources yet great expertise. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in the field of healthcare while also honoring those who paved the way for modern medical advancements. This photograph is not only an archaeological treasure but also an artistic marvel that captures our imagination and curiosity about life in ancient Pompeii.
