EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned German bacteriologist and physician, Robert Koch, in his laboratory. With a distinguished bow tie adorning his attire, Koch exudes an air of professionalism and dedication to his groundbreaking research. In 1890, he introduced Tuberculin as a potential cure for Tuberculosis, a disease that plagued countless lives during that time. However, despite high hopes for its curative powers, Tuberculin proved disappointing in its effectiveness as a treatment. Yet this setback did not diminish Koch's contributions to medical science. His work with Tuberculin revealed its value as a diagnostic tool for detecting tuberculosis infections. Unfortunately, this aspect was initially overlooked amidst the disappointment surrounding its curative properties. The engraving beautifully portrays Koch surrounded by various apparatuses used in his experimentation process. It offers us a glimpse into the meticulous nature of scientific inquiry during the late 19th century. Robert Koch's legacy extends far beyond this portrait; he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1905 for his groundbreaking discoveries regarding infectious diseases such as cholera and tuberculosis. This photograph serves as a testament to both his significant contributions to medicine and his unwavering commitment to improving public health throughout Germany and beyond.
