EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the tender moment between a man afflicted with a goitre and his young son, circa 1880. Goitres are enlarged thyroid glands that can cause a visible swelling in the neck. In this image, the man's goitre is prominent, making his face appear smaller in comparison. The man's expression is one of love and care, as he gazes at his son with a protective and nurturing gaze. The boy, diagnosed as a cretin, is also afflicted with a health condition, likely caused by iodine deficiency during pregnancy or infancy. Cretinism can lead to mental and physical developmental delays, and the boy's features, such as a flat bridge of the nose, short stature, and thick tongue, are characteristic of the condition. Despite their health challenges, the bond between father and son is evident, and the photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of love and family." "The photograph, taken around the late 19th century, provides a glimpse into the lives of individuals living with health conditions during that era. Goitres and cretinism were common health issues during that time, particularly in areas with iodine-deficient soils. The photograph offers a unique perspective into the lives of those affected, and serves as a reminder of the importance of medical advancements and access to healthcare." "The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human spirit and the enduring power of love and family, despite the challenges that life may present. It is a powerful image that evokes emotions and offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the lives of individuals living with health conditions during that era.
