EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of medicine. In the image, William Harvey, an eminent English physician from the 17th century, is seen demonstrating the circulation of blood to the College of Physicians. This demonstration took place around 1628 and was later depicted in an engraving by Louis Figuier for his book Vies des Savants Illustres. Harvey's groundbreaking work, De motu cordis (Anatomical Exercise on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals), published in 1628, revolutionized our understanding of human physiology. He was not only a skilled scientist but also one of the first to apply scientific methods to solve biological problems. The photograph showcases Harvey as he passionately explains his findings to a group of attentive individuals at this educational institution. The image transports us back to a time when medical knowledge was rapidly expanding, thanks to pioneers like Harvey. With its monochrome aesthetic and detailed engravings, this print serves as a visual testament to both Harvey's remarkable achievements and Figuier's artistic talent. It reminds us that progress in science often requires dedicated individuals who are willing to challenge existing beliefs and explore new frontiers. This historic photograph is not just an intriguing glimpse into the past; it symbolizes humanity's unending quest for knowledge and our relentless pursuit of understanding our own bodies.
