EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ms Palat. 218-220 Book IX Aztec midwife administering herbs to a woman after childbirth" takes us back in time to witness the ancient practice of midwifery in the Aztec civilization. The image, captured by Bernardino de Sahagun during the 16th century, showcases a compassionate midwife tending to a new mother with great care and expertise. In this intimate scene, we see the midwife delicately administering medicinal herbs to provide pain relief and promote healing for the woman who has just given birth. Her knowledge and experience are evident as she focuses on her patient's well-being, ensuring that she receives proper postnatal care. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its historical context but also in its celebration of female strength and maternity. It reminds us of the essential role played by midwives throughout history, offering support and guidance during one of life's most transformative moments. Displayed within the Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana in Florence, Italy, this piece is part of Sahagun's comprehensive work known as "Historia General de las Cosas de Nueva Espana". Created by trilingual Aztec students under Sahagun's guidance, it serves as a testament to cultural exchange and understanding between different civilizations. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported into an ancient world where medicine meets compassion, reminding us of our shared human experiences across time.
