EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Secondary Period Syphilis Symptoms on the Body," is an intriguing glimpse into the medical history of sexually transmitted infections. The image, created by T. Sinclaire for Freeman J. Bumstead's Atlas of Venereal Diseases in 1868, showcases the various manifestations of secondary syphilis on the human body. The left side of the torso is depicted before treatment, displaying papular erythema, characterized by raised, red, and inflamed patches. The right side of the body, however, reveals the aftermath of mercury treatment, with maculated erythema, or roseola, appearing as large, irregularly shaped, and discolored patches. The arms and sides also exhibit symptoms of syphilide, which includes impetigo-like lesions and scaly, syphilitic lichen. The detailed illustration provides a vivid representation of the diffused nature of secondary syphilis, which can affect various parts of the body. This scientific illustration, taken from Auguste Cullier's Precis iconographique des maladies veneriennes, offers a unique perspective into the medical understanding of sexually transmitted diseases during the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of medical advancements and the ongoing efforts to combat STIs, such as syphilis, through research and treatment. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the chromolithograph not only make it an aesthetically pleasing piece but also a valuable historical artifact that sheds light on the medical knowledge and practices of the past.
