EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the early 20th century showcases a colony of Mycobacterium leprae, a bacterium known for causing leprosy. The German School artist skillfully captures the intricate details of these microscopic organisms, which are typically only a few micrometers in length. Bacteria, one of the earliest life forms on Earth, come in various shapes and can be found in diverse habitats such as soil, water, and even deep within the Earth's crust. This print serves as a reminder of their omnipresence and importance in our world. The image reveals the cellular structure of these bacteria under a microscope slide. Each individual cell is meticulously depicted with its distinct shape - some spherical, others rod-like or spiral-shaped. The vibrant colors used by the artist bring to life this hidden world that exists beyond our naked eye. However beautiful this artwork may appear at first glance, it also represents an infectious disease that has plagued humanity throughout history. Leprosy is caused by Mycobacterium leprae and has had devastating effects on individuals and communities worldwide. This lithograph not only highlights the artistic talent behind capturing scientific subjects but also raises awareness about microbiology and its impact on human health. It serves as a testament to both artistry and scientific exploration during the early 20th century in Germany.
