EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Methods of Arresting Bleeding, c. 1890" takes us back to the 19th century when medical knowledge was still evolving. The intricate illustration showcases various techniques employed by physicians to control bleeding in cases of injury or wounds. The image is a glimpse into the world of medicine during that era, as it appeared in an influential publication called The Household Physician by J McGregor Robertson. It serves as a valuable instructional tool for both medical professionals and curious minds alike. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line meticulously etched onto the print depicts different methods used at the time. From tourniquets applied on limbs to other apparatuses designed specifically for this purpose, each diagram offers insight into how doctors sought to save lives and prevent excessive blood loss. As we observe this historical artifact from a private collection, we are reminded of the advancements made in modern medicine since then. This engraving not only represents a significant milestone in healthcare but also acts as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of understanding and improving our own health. Ken Welsh's expertise shines through his capture of this intriguing piece, preserving its essence for generations to come.
