EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment titled "How the doctor served me". Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection. The photograph showcases a young boy sitting on a chair, his face contorted with pain as he receives medical treatment from a doctor. The doctor's expression is one of concern and empathy as he administers medicine to alleviate the child's suffering. Surrounding them are various tools and remedies, symbolizing different treatments available during that era. The postcard format suggests that this image was widely circulated at the time, perhaps serving as both educational material and entertainment for its recipients. Despite the evident discomfort experienced by the boy, there is an unexpected element present - laughter. Another child can be seen in the background, seemingly amused by his companion's predicament. This contrast between pain and joy highlights the complex range of emotions associated with seeking medical help. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into early 20th-century healthcare practices while also witnessing universal human experiences such as pain, compassion, and resilience. It serves as a reminder of how far medical advancements have come since then while emphasizing our shared humanity when it comes to health and well-being.
