EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical artwork, titled "Nose Doctor" takes us back to the 18th century and offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of medical practices during that time. Created by German engraver Jeremias Woff in circa 1700, this illustration showcases a man dressed in traditional doctor's robes with an exaggeratedly long nose. According to the accompanying verse (unfortunately not visible), this elongated feature symbolizes his ability to diagnose diseases by smelling a patient's urine. The artist cleverly incorporates various elements into this caricature. The large hat signifies intelligence, while the robes indicate the man's medical profession. However, it is his comically elongated nose that steals the show and highlights his unique diagnostic skillset. This particular print is from Eugen Hollander's book "Die Karikatur und Satire in der Medizin" (Caricature and Satire in Medicine) published in 1921. Hollander was both a German art historian and physician who delved into exploring how humor has been used throughout history within medical contexts. Through its monochromatic style and attention to detail, this artwork captures our imagination as we ponder on historical medical practices. It serves as a reminder of how far medicine has progressed over centuries while also showcasing the creativity and wit employed by artists like Woff to convey social commentary through their work.
