EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Chinese Doctor" takes us back in time to early 20th century China. Captured by an English photographer, this image showcases a moment frozen in history, offering a glimpse into the life of a Chinese doctor. The photograph depicts a distinguished-looking man sitting with poise and confidence. Dressed in traditional attire, his thin frame exudes wisdom and experience. The long fingernails on his hands symbolize his status as a healer, reflecting ancient Chinese beliefs about energy flow within the body. As he sits there, engrossed in deep thought, we can almost smell the faint aroma of tobacco smoke lingering in the air. It is evident that this doctor finds solace and relaxation through smoking, perhaps using it as a means to unwind after tending to patients throughout the day. This postcard-like image not only captures one individual but also represents an entire era of healthcare practices in South East Asia. It serves as a reminder of Singapore's rich cultural heritage and its contributions to medicine. Preserved within private collections for years, this photograph now emerges from obscurity thanks to Bridgeman Images' efforts. Its historical significance cannot be overstated; it offers us an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for modern healthcare practices. Intriguingly composed and expertly captured by an English photographer, this stunning print invites viewers to contemplate both physical health and the broader context of Singaporean history during that period
