EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant medical procedure performed in the late 19th century. Titled "Littre operation artificial anus" it showcases the work of J. H. Pooley, an American surgeon who was active during the 1870s and 1880s. The image captures a moment frozen in time on December 22,1871, as Pooley conducted Littre's operation for an artificial anus. The albumen silver print beautifully highlights the details of this groundbreaking surgical technique. Intriguingly, Littre's operation involved creating an artificial opening in the abdomen to divert waste when normal bowel function was impaired or impossible. This innovative procedure revolutionized treatment options for patients suffering from various gastrointestinal conditions. The photograph itself is a testament to both medical history and artistic skill. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition while emphasizing every intricate detail of Pooley's delicate work. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of how far medical science has come since those early days. It serves as a poignant reminder of human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of improving lives through innovation.
