EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant medical breakthrough from the early 19th century. Titled "Hernia Cerebri: Rupture of the Dura Mater by the rapid growth of a brain tumour" it is an exquisite hand-coloured engraving found in Charles Bell's renowned book, Illustrations of the Great Operations of Surgery (London, 1821). The image depicts bone fragments that were meticulously removed from the rupture caused by this alarming condition. On closer inspection, we can observe two distinct forms of dressing used to address and treat this delicate situation. What makes this illustration truly remarkable is its historical significance within the field of medicine and surgery. It serves as a testament to Charles Bell's pioneering work and his commitment to documenting groundbreaking operations during that era. By capturing such intricate details through engravings, Bell not only provided valuable insights into surgical procedures but also contributed greatly to medical education at large. This particular image sheds light on hernia cerebri—a rare occurrence where a brain tumor rapidly grows, leading to the rupture of dura mater. As we delve into this piece, we are reminded once again how far medicine has come since then. It serves as both a reminder of our progress and an appreciation for those who paved the way for modern surgical practices.
