Woodcut of a rabid dog
Woodcut illustration showing a rabid dog. Rabies is a viral disease readily passed between animals. Worldwide, about 97% of human infections come from dog bites, although in the USA domestic dogs are vaccinated and thus not disease carriers.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut illustration, captured by Todd-White Art Photography, takes us back in time to the year 1568. The monochrome print showcases a hauntingly detailed depiction of a rabid dog, its menacing gaze and snarling teeth sending shivers down our spines. The image serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by rabies, a viral disease that spreads easily between animals. Astonishingly, about 97% of human infections worldwide are caused by dog bites. However, it is worth noting that this statistic does not hold true for the United States due to widespread vaccination efforts among domestic dogs. Taken from Jacques Grevin's Deux livres de venins and published in Antwerp during an era when medical knowledge was still limited, this historical engraving offers valuable insights into both the history of medicine and public health concerns surrounding infectious diseases. Against a white backdrop, the woodcut transports us to another time with its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship. Its horizontal composition allows us to appreciate the full landscape of this chilling scene. As we observe this powerful artwork, let it serve as a testament to humanity's ongoing battle against infectious diseases throughout history. May it remind us of how far we have come in understanding and combating such threats while urging us never to underestimate their potential impact on our lives.
