EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving from 1772, depicting the trepanation of the skull and various surgical instruments. The unknown artist skillfully captures a moment in history when surgery was still in its infancy. This artwork is part of a private collection and is believed to be taken from "L'Encyclopédie de Diderot et d'Alembert" by Denis Diderot and Jean Le Rond d'Alembert. The image provides a glimpse into the world of medicine during the 18th century, where surgeons faced daunting challenges with limited knowledge and tools. Trepanation, a procedure involving drilling or cutting holes into the skull, was performed for various reasons such as relieving pressure on the brain or treating head injuries. The intricate details of each instrument depicted in this engraving highlight their importance in these early surgical procedures. From scalpels to drills, these tools were essential for surgeons who sought to improve patients' health through innovative techniques. As we observe this historical artifact today, it serves as a reminder of how far medical science has progressed over time. It also pays homage to those brave doctors who paved the way for modern healthcare practices. This photograph print by Luisa Ricciarini offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own gratitude towards advancements that have revolutionized surgery and improved countless lives throughout history.
