EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Eye surgery" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of medical procedures. The illustration is sourced from Emile Littre's renowned Dictionnaire de Medecine, published in 1884. The scene depicts an intricate eye surgery being performed by a skilled doctor or ophthalmologist. With intense focus and precision, the doctor examines the patient's eyeball using various implements and tools specific to ophthalmology. The viewer can almost feel the tension in the room as this delicate procedure unfolds. The artwork beautifully captures every detail of this medical practice: from the patient's dilated pupil to their iris, all intricately engraved with meticulous care. It showcases not only the expertise of doctors but also highlights advancements made in medicine during that era. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of healing practices and technology. This print invites us to appreciate both our modern healthcare system and those who paved its way through dedication and innovation. Patrice Cartier skillfully brings this piece to life through his mastery of engraving techniques. His attention to detail ensures that every aspect is faithfully represented, making it an invaluable addition for collectors interested in medical history or anyone fascinated by art that tells stories beyond mere aesthetics.
