"A Glimpse into the History of Ailment: From Ancient Plagues to Modern Miracles" In this captivating collection of images, we embark on a journey through time to explore the various facets of ailment. From Cancer Research's tireless efforts in unraveling the mysteries of this formidable disease to Pope Clemens XIV's role in shaping medical history, each hint offers a unique perspective. We delve into the haunting Colony of Vibrio cholerae in 1906, depicted vividly in lithographic form. The mid-nineteenth-century advertisement for Eau des Jacobins de Rouen reminds us that even during times of sickness, beauty and hope can prevail. The sick woman lying in bed, possibly Saskia - wife of an esteemed painter from 1640 - serves as a poignant reminder that illness knows no boundaries. Meanwhile, the Asylum of Charenton engraving from France transports us to a different era where mental health was still shrouded in stigma. Francisque Crotte's innovative approach using electricity to treat tuberculosis showcases humanity's relentless pursuit for healing throughout history. And within the Diptych of Blessed Andrea Gallerani, we witness prayers and faith intertwined with hopes for recovery. The plague-ridden Milan engraving from the 19th century brings forth memories of devastating epidemics that have plagued humankind over centuries. Death himself makes an appearance as he claims victory over Turkish soldiers defeated not by enemies but by cholera itself. As we turn our attention towards Pestilence – one of Egypt’s Seven Plagues – Gustave Dore’s wood engraving takes us back to biblical times when ailments were seen as divine punishment or tests. Finally, we witness St. Peter’s shadow performing miracles amidst suffering souls seeking solace and salvation.
