EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Medicine and Surgery in England" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of healthcare during the 19th century. The print showcases an illustration originally published in The Graphic on October 1,1887. The image takes us back to a time when medical science was still evolving, yet already held great importance within society. In this scene, we find ourselves inside the censors room at the Royal College of Physicians in London. Various elements catch our attention: from circulation charts and keys symbolizing knowledge and access to blood-stained surgical tools representing the practice of surgery. Notably, there are allusions to historical figures such as Charles I and Oliver Cromwell, reminding us that even royalty sought medical services. A silver gilt mace is prominently displayed, perhaps signifying royal patronage towards medicine. The presence of renowned physicians like William Harvey and John Abernethy further emphasizes the significance placed on their contributions to medical progress during this era. Their work paved the way for advancements in understanding human anatomy and surgical techniques. As we explore this intricate engraving by Bridgeman Images, it becomes evident that healthcare has always been an essential aspect of society's well-being. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those times while honoring the foundations laid by these pioneers in medicine.
