EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ichthyosis skin condition, 18th century" takes us back in time to the era of scientific exploration and medical discoveries. The image showcases a European male afflicted with the rare Ichthyosis skin condition, which was prevalent during the 18th century. This historical artwork provides a glimpse into the understanding of diseases and conditions that plagued humanity centuries ago. The illustration depicts an adult patient suffering from severe skin thickening, resembling wart-like growths all over his body. Published in the renowned scientific journal "Philosophical Transactions" by Edward Lambert in 1755, this art piece holds immense significance for dermatology and medical research. As we delve into this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to a world where academic curiosity met artistic expression. The meticulous attention to detail captures every aspect of this chronic disorder - from its unhealthy appearance to its abnormal growth patterns. Through this photograph, we witness not only the physical manifestations of Ichthyosis but also gain insight into how society perceived such conditions during British history. It serves as a reminder of our progress in understanding and treating dermatological disorders while highlighting the resilience of individuals who lived with these challenges. Todd-White Art Photography has masterfully preserved this significant piece from the Royal Society's publication volume 49, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its contribution to medical science.
