EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a haunting scene in the laboratory of Professor Virchow at the Pathological Institute in Berlin. The renowned scientist, Rudolf Virchow, lies lifeless amidst his beloved skulls and skeletons, surrounded by the tools of his trade. The photograph, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the final moments of this famous figure. Professor Virchow was not only a respected scientist but also a prominent politician in Germany. His contributions to pathology and medicine were groundbreaking, making him an influential figure both within Germany and internationally. This image serves as a poignant reminder of his legacy. The composition is strikingly eerie yet captivating, with shadows dancing across the laboratory walls. It speaks volumes about Virchow's dedication to his work even until his last breath. The photograph was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in September 1902. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported back to old Berlin streets and immersed in German culture during that time period. It is a testament to the enduring impact of Professor Virchow's scientific achievements on European society. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' collection and provides us with a window into the world of one extraordinary man who left an indelible mark on science and politics alike.
