EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical illustration from Robert Willans' groundbreaking medical textbook, On Cutaneous Diseases, published in 1808. The artwork depicts the distressing effects of psoriasis on the hand, specifically what Willan referred to as psoriasis palmaria. Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by the rapid replication of skin cells, resulting in inflamed patches or plaques. This image vividly captures the scaly lesions that afflict individuals with this disorder. Robert Willan (1757-1812), considered the founder of dermatology, revolutionized our understanding of skin diseases through his meticulous observations and classifications. His pioneering work laid the foundation for modern dermatological science. The 19th-century drawing presented here not only serves as a testament to Willan's contributions but also offers valuable insights into the history of medicine. It reminds us how far we have come in diagnosing and treating such conditions. This historical image provides a glimpse into an era when healthcare was vastly different from today's standards. It serves as a reminder of both our progress and our ongoing commitment to improving human health. Science Photo Library has preserved this remarkable piece of medical artistry, allowing us to appreciate its significance and gain deeper insight into psoriasis and its impact on those affected by it.
