EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Consequences of Pertussis (Whooping Cough or 100-Day Cough) Disease" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the devastating effects of this highly contagious illness. The engraving, originally featured in "La nature et l'homme" by Rengade in 1881, showcases the artistic talent of Alphonse Demarle. In this haunting image, we witness a young child suffering from pertussis, their frail body consumed by coughing fits. The artist's attention to detail highlights the anguish and pain experienced by both the child and those around them. This piece serves as a reminder of the profound impact that diseases had on individuals and communities during this era. As we delve into history through this engraving, it becomes evident that healthcare practices have come a long way since then. Today, vaccinations against pertussis are readily available and have significantly reduced its prevalence. However, it is crucial not to forget our past battles with infectious diseases and appreciate how far medical advancements have brought us. "The Consequences of Pertussis (Whooping Cough or 100-Day Cough) Disease" stands as an important testament to human resilience in combating illnesses throughout time. It reminds us to cherish our health while acknowledging those who suffered before us. This powerful artwork from Bridgeman Images captures an essential chapter in medical history that should never be forgotten.
