This print from 1872 takes us back to a time when smallpox was a devastating epidemic in New York City. In the midst of poverty-stricken slums, a dedicated Board of Health physician is seen vaccinating the poor against this deadly illness. The image portrays an important moment in history, showcasing the efforts made by medical professionals to combat infectious diseases and protect vulnerable communities. The scene unfolds within the confines of a New York City police station, which served as an impromptu vaccination center. This choice of location highlights the urgency and severity of the situation at hand. As we observe this wood engraving from a contemporary American newspaper, we are reminded of how far medicine has come since then. In this snapshot, we witness not only the physical act of vaccination but also glimpses into social dynamics prevalent during that era. The patient's face reflects both apprehension and hope for protection against smallpox. Meanwhile, onlookers seem curious yet cautious about this new form of preventive medicine. This powerful image serves as a reminder that even in times marked by hardship and inequality, there were individuals committed to improving public health outcomes for all citizens.
