EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Coming Race, 1872" by George du Maurier, offers a glimpse into the societal attitudes of the Victorian era. The cartoon portrays a scene where a pioneering female doctor seeks assistance from a respected male surgeon. Published in Punch, or the London Charivari on September 14,1872, this artwork reflects the disapproval towards women entering traditionally male-dominated professions. Despite its underlying sexism, this illustration inadvertently sheds light on significant developments in medicine during that time. In the background of the image, we can observe an Out-Patient board similar to those seen today in hospitals. This detail highlights how medical practices were evolving even as gender biases persisted. Moreover, another noteworthy aspect depicted is the prevalent use of chloroform during surgical procedures. Its presence emphasizes advancements in anesthesia techniques that revolutionized surgery and patient care. George du Maurier's artistry captures both historical context and contemporary relevance within one frame. It serves as a reminder of how far society has progressed since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done regarding gender equality in various professional fields. As we admire this heritage image partnership print collector1 brings us back to nineteenth-century England through George du Maurier's lens – an artist who skillfully encapsulates complex themes with monochrome strokes.
