EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from a family medical book, dating back to the early 1900s, showcases an artistic representation of two notorious childhood diseases - measles and scarlet fever. Created by Hungarian School artists, this color lithograph offers a glimpse into the medical knowledge and practices of that era. The image portrays a scene where a mother is seeking assistance for her child at home. The caption "la femme medecin au foyer" suggests that mothers were often considered as caregivers and healers within their households during those times. This depiction highlights the importance of maternal care in managing children's health issues. Measles and scarlet fever were common ailments among children in the past, causing significant distress to families worldwide. The skin rash associated with these viral infections can be seen on the child's body in this artwork. Such visual representations served as educational tools for parents and physicians alike, aiding in diagnosis and treatment decisions. Although this particular print is part of a private collection today, it originated from eArchives Charmet - an invaluable resource preserving historical documents related to medicine. By capturing both the beauty and significance of pediatric medicine through artistry, this image reminds us of our progress in understanding childhood illnesses while honoring our ancestors' efforts to combat them effectively.
