EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Giving Prisoners the Smallpox in Gaol, late 18th century (c1934)". This print captures a significant moment in medical history - the inoculation of prisoners against smallpox in Newgate Gaol during the late 18th century. The image is taken from 'The Romance of the Nation, Volume Two', edited by Charles Ray and published by The Amalgamated Press Ltd. in London around 1934. In this illustration, we witness an experimental procedure conducted by Edward Jenner, who introduced the smallpox vaccine in 1796. These brave prisoners were chosen as guinea pigs to test Jenner's groundbreaking immunization method. Their participation played a crucial role in advancing scientific knowledge about disease prevention. Newgate Gaol, known for its notorious reputation as a penitentiary for criminals, became an unlikely setting for this pioneering medical trial. This photograph offers us a glimpse into both the grim reality of prison life and the progress made through scientific research during that era. As we reflect on this historic event, it serves as a reminder of how far medicine has come since then. Vaccinations have become commonplace today thanks to early pioneers like Edward Jenner who dedicated their lives to eradicating deadly diseases. This remarkable image not only documents an important chapter in British history but also highlights the intersection between science and society at that time. It stands as a testament to human resilience and our ongoing quest for better health outcomes through innovation and
