EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Meal Mites (colour litho)" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an intriguing illustration by the English School. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "The Home Handbook of Domestic Hygiene and Rational Medicine" written by J. H. Kellogg in 1902. In this image, we are introduced to the world of meal mites, tiny creatures that have long been associated with health concerns. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring these minuscule pests to life, allowing us to observe their intricate details up close. As we delve into the realm of medicine and hygiene, it becomes evident why such illustrations were crucial during that era. The inclusion of meal mites within a medical handbook highlights their significance as potential threats to human health. These microscopic organisms are often found infesting food products like sugar, making them particularly concerning for individuals seeking rational medicine practices at home. Through this thought-provoking artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers are reminded of the importance placed on cleanliness and hygiene throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant creatures can have a profound impact on our well-being.
