EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Vivisection Satire, 1911" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The centrefold artwork for the satirical US magazine Puck depicts a thought-provoking scene that challenges ethical considerations surrounding vivisection. In this illustration by Will Crawford, two researchers stand poised with scalpel, anaesthesia mask, and microscope as they prepare to operate on a live rabbit. At the left side of the image, we see a group of men and women passionately attempting to halt the operation. Their plea is driven by compassion and mercy for the innocent animal about to undergo such invasive procedures. On the right side of the image, hauntingly beautiful ghosts representing victims of illnesses encourage them to continue their research in pursuit of medical advancements. The caption at the bottom powerfully captures both sides of this moral dilemma: "The Sentimentalists: For Mercy's Sake, Stop!" versus "The Sufferers: For Humanity's Sake, Go On!". This stark contrast reflects society's conflicting views on vivisection during that time. Published on February 22nd in 1911 within Puck magazine’s volume 69 issue number 1773 edition; this artwork sheds light on an important chapter in medical history. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of ethical considerations surrounding laboratory animals while acknowledging our ongoing quest for knowledge and progress in medicine. This remarkable piece from Library Of Congress/Science Photo Library transports us back over a century ago when debates around animal rights were gaining momentum across North America.
