EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the portrait of Jean Astruc (1684-1766), a prominent figure in the field of medicine during the 18th century. The creator of this intriguing image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this historic piece. Jean Astruc was a renowned professor of medicine in both Montpellier and Paris, known for his groundbreaking work on syphilis and venereal diseases. His treatise on these subjects marked a significant milestone in medical literature at that time. The engraving featured here is taken from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, published in 1830 by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. It showcases Astruc's dignified presence as he gazes directly into the viewer's eyes. This portrait not only portrays Astruc as a man dedicated to his profession but also highlights his contribution to scientific knowledge during an era when understanding sexually transmitted diseases was limited. The intricate details captured by the artist emphasize Astruc's importance within the medical community. As we admire this historical photograph print today, it serves as a reminder of how far medical science has progressed since Jean Astruc's time while paying homage to one of its pioneering figures who paved the way for future advancements in healthcare.
