EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in medical history - a child being inoculated with the smallpox vaccine in 1870. The image showcases an American physician diligently vaccinating a baby against this deadly disease, providing us with a glimpse into the traditional medical practices of the 19th century. Hand-colored to enhance its visual impact, this woodcut illustration transports us back to an era when infectious diseases posed grave threats to public health. The female doctor is portrayed as a symbol of progress and compassion, working alongside her assistant and servant to administer this life-saving treatment. The scene takes place in what appears to be a clinic or office visit setting, highlighting the importance of preventive medicine during that time period. Smallpox was rampant during the 1800s, causing widespread devastation across North America and other parts of the world. This photograph serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of finding effective medical treatments. Preserved by North Wind Picture Archives, this historic artwork not only represents an important milestone in medical science but also celebrates the dedication and bravery of healthcare professionals who have tirelessly worked towards eradicating infectious diseases throughout history.
