EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the devastating effects of syphilis on a victim in 1495. The detailed depiction of the physical symptoms, such as lesions and disfigurement, serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by those afflicted with this disease during that time period.
The historical significance of this print cannot be understated, as it provides a glimpse into the medical practices and understanding of ailments in the late 15th century. Syphilis was a particularly feared and misunderstood illness at that time, often associated with shame and stigma due to its transmission through sexual contact.
Through this image, we are transported back to a time when medical knowledge was limited and treatments were often ineffective or even harmful. It is a sobering reminder of how far we have come in terms of our understanding and management of diseases like syphilis.
Mary Evans Picture Library has curated an extensive collection of historical images like this one, offering valuable insights into various aspects of human history. This particular print serves as both a testament to the suffering endured by individuals affected by syphilis in 1495 and a tribute to the resilience of those who survived such challenging times.
