EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Tending a snake bite" takes us back to the year 1497 in Strasbourg. It is an illustration from Das Buch der Cirugia, the first significant German manual of civic medicine. The image depicts a scene where a skilled physician tends to a victim who has fallen prey to the venomous bite of a snake. In this medieval courtyard setting, surrounded by onlookers, we witness the intense focus and determination of the healer as he applies his knowledge and expertise to save his patient's life. Armed with a knife and various medicinal plants, he carefully administers treatment while following instructions outlined in The Book of Surgery. The engraving beautifully captures not only the urgency but also the delicate balance between life and death that hangs in the air during such medical emergencies. It serves as a reminder of humanity's age-old struggle against poisonous creatures and our relentless pursuit for cures. This lithograph by Hieronymus Brunschwig offers us insight into both historical medical practices and societal attitudes towards healing during that era. It showcases how physicians relied on their own experiences alongside French and Italian writings to develop effective treatments for various ailments. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of mankind's resilience in combating adversity through scientific exploration and unwavering dedication to saving lives.
