Pasteur supervising inoculation of rabies vaccine
Illustration of the French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur (1822-1895), left, supervising his assistants experimenting on a rabbit during research into a rabies vaccine. Pasteur began his studies on rabies in 1880 infecting dogs, guinea pigs and rabbits with rabid saliva. He discovered that a vaccine could be obtained from the spinal cord of a rabid rabbit once kept in dry air for a few days. He was fearful of human trials but in 1885 he inoculated the vaccine into a nine year old boy who had been bitten by a rabid dog. The boy survived and in 1886 out of 2671 patients treated only 25 died

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic moment when Louis Pasteur, the renowned French chemist and microbiologist, supervises his assistants during groundbreaking research on a rabies vaccine. In this illustration, Pasteur can be seen closely observing as his team experiments on a rabbit, symbolizing their relentless pursuit of scientific knowledge. During the late 19th century, Pasteur embarked on extensive studies to combat the deadly disease of rabies. By infecting dogs, guinea pigs, and rabbits with rabid saliva in 1880, he made significant strides towards understanding its nature and finding a potential cure. His meticulous observations led him to discover that a vaccine could be derived from the spinal cord of a rabid rabbit after being kept in dry air for several days. Despite initial apprehension about human trials, Pasteur's determination prevailed. In 1885, he fearlessly administered his newly developed vaccine to a nine-year-old boy who had been bitten by a rabid dog. Miraculously, the young patient survived this life-threatening ordeal. The success continued as only 25 out of 2671 patients treated with Pasteur's revolutionary vaccination method succumbed to the disease in 1886. This historic photograph serves as an enduring testament to Louis Pasteur's pioneering work in microbiology and vaccination against infectious diseases like rabies. It encapsulates both his unwavering commitment to scientific progress and his profound impact on medical history.
