EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in medical history - the restoration of an apparently drowned individual. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving showcases a scene from "The Household Physician" written by J. M. Gregor-Robertson and published by Blackie around 1870. In the image, we witness a physician diligently working to revive the lifeless body before him. The rescuer's hands are spread across the ribs of the patient's chest, applying pressure to expel water from their stomach and lungs. With careful precision, he kneels beside them, adopting Howard's method - a technique used to restore breathing. The intensity of this moment is palpable as onlookers observe with anticipation. The restored individual lies motionless on a bundle of cloth while their face appears pressed against it, indicating that they have been submerged for some time. This historical artwork not only highlights early medical practices but also serves as a testament to human resilience and determination when faced with life-threatening situations. It reminds us of our constant pursuit to understand and improve upon our understanding of medicine and health throughout history. Displayed within this print is an invaluable piece of medical heritage that continues to inspire awe and gratitude for those who dedicate themselves to saving lives.
