EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, where German physician Robert Koch made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of bacteriology. The image showcases a test tube containing a culture of tuberculosis bacilli that were grown by Koch himself in 1890. The line engraving technique used to capture this moment adds an antique charm to the print, reminding us of the scientific advancements made at the turn of the century. It serves as a testament to Koch's significant contribution towards understanding and combating infectious diseases. Tuberculosis, a highly contagious respiratory illness, was prevalent during this era and caused widespread suffering. Through his meticulous research and experiments, Koch identified Mycobacterium tuberculosis as the causative agent for this deadly infection. His work paved the way for improved diagnosis methods and treatment options that have saved countless lives since then. This print not only represents an object from history but also symbolizes progress in medicine and biology. It is a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding of infectious diseases thanks to pioneers like Robert Koch. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its significance in advancing human health.
