EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1555 with this fascinating historical print titled "Letting with Leeches" from Mary Evans Picture Library. In this image, we see a seated gentleman and a rider's steed benefiting from the ancient medical practice of blood letting, courtesy of some water-bound leeches.
The scene is set by a tranquil pond where the leeches are eagerly sucking away at the blood of both man and horse. The gentleman appears calm and collected as he sits in his throne-like chair, while the rider's steed stands patiently nearby, accepting its treatment without fuss.
This snapshot into history offers a glimpse into the unconventional methods used for healing in centuries past. Blood letting was believed to have numerous health benefits, although it may seem strange to us now. The use of leeches as suckers for extracting blood was common practice during this time period.
Mary Evans Prints Online has captured this moment beautifully, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details and historical significance of such a unique form of medical treatment. So take a moment to ponder on how far medicine has come since then, while admiring this intriguing piece of history brought to life through photography.
