EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history from 1820, showcasing women gathering leeches for medical treatment. In the early 19th century, leeches were commonly used in medicine to treat various ailments by letting them suck blood from patients. This practice, known as leeching, was believed to balance the body's humors and promote healing.
The image provides a glimpse into the world of medical treatment in the 1820s, highlighting the unconventional methods that were employed during this time period. The women depicted in the photo are shown diligently collecting leeches, demonstrating their role in providing care and healing to those in need.
Through this historical lens, we are reminded of the advancements that have been made in modern medicine and how far we have come since the days when leeches were a common form of treatment. It serves as a poignant reminder of our past practices and how they have shaped our current understanding of healthcare.
Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully preserved this piece of history through their prints online, allowing us to reflect on the unique ways in which people sought healing centuries ago. This photograph is not just a snapshot of women gathering leeches; it is a window into an era where medical treatments were vastly different from what we know today.
