EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of medicine and illness during that era. Titled "Eruptive Fevers: Scarlatina or Scarlet Fever" this illustration was originally published in The Household Physician around 1898. The image portrays a patient suffering from scarlet fever, an infectious disease notorious for its red rash and high fever. The individual appears weak and unwell, their face covered in small spots indicative of the ailment. This historical snapshot serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by medical practitioners in combating contagious diseases without modern advancements. As we delve into this archival piece, we are transported to a time when health concerns were vastly different from today's standards. It is fascinating to observe how far medical science has progressed since then, with improved treatments and preventive measures against such infections. This print not only provides valuable insight into the history of healthcare but also showcases Welsh artist Ken's talent in capturing intricate details through his illustrations. By preserving this piece, we honor those who battled illnesses like scarlet fever while appreciating our current state of well-being thanks to advancements made over time
