EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century surgical equipment print, created by Robert Benard for Denis Diderot's renowned Encyclopedia, offers a fascinating glimpse into the medical practices of the past. The copperplate engraving, published in Pellet, Geneva, in 1779, showcases a collection of essential surgical instruments commonly used during this era. At the center of the image, a bone saw (1) is depicted, its sharp blade ready to cut through bone. To the left, a set of pincers (2, 3) are displayed, available in various sizes for different surgical applications. A pair of scissors (4) is also shown, which would have been utilized for various tasks, such as making incisions or cutting sutures. A lead mallet (5) is featured towards the bottom of the print, which was employed to strike the handle of a mallet or forceps during surgical procedures to apply additional force. Lastly, a hook for childbirth (6) is illustrated, which was used during the delivery process to assist in the extraction of the infant. This anatomical illustration provides a valuable record of the surgical tools and techniques employed during the 18th century. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the precision and craftsmanship of the time, offering a unique perspective on the history of medicine. The image serves as a reminder of the advancements that have been made in surgical practices and the continued importance of innovation and progress in the field.
