EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "L'Assiette au Beurre, number 51, Satirique en couleurs, 1902_3_22: Medical, Hospital - Medicine, Surgeon" by Jules Abel Faivre takes us back to the early 20th century and offers a satirical glimpse into the world of medicine. The artwork depicts a scene in a hospital operating room where a surgeon is performing an amputation on a patient's leg. The composition is filled with intriguing details that highlight the artist's wit and social commentary. A couple can be seen in the background sharing a kiss while reading a newspaper headline about some bombshell news. This juxtaposition suggests that even amidst serious medical procedures, life goes on with its own dramas. Faivre's use of color adds depth to this piece as he contrasts the sterile environment of surgery with vibrant reds and blues. The surgeon himself appears confident and at ease despite his grim task. A nurse stands nearby holding what seems to be an alcohol bottle, perhaps indicating that anesthesia during surgeries was not as advanced as it is today. Overall, this lithograph captures both the artistry and humor prevalent in French society during this time period. It serves as a reminder of how far medical practices have evolved since then while also offering insight into societal attitudes towards health and well-being in early 20th-century Europe.
