EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of microbiology through a satirical lens. The artwork, featured in the ninth volume of the renowned French popular science weekly La Science Illustree, showcases a male researcher engrossed in his study of bacterial cultures. Intriguingly, on the left side of the image, we are treated to a magnified view under a microscope where microbes take center stage. These caricatured microorganisms with their exaggerated features add an element of humor to this scientific illustration. The man depicted here is undoubtedly dedicated to his craft as he meticulously handles jars labeled as bacterial cultures. His presence in this laboratory setting suggests that he is deeply engaged in groundbreaking research within the field of microbiology. As we delve deeper into this historical piece, it becomes evident that it encapsulates not only scientific curiosity but also artistic expression. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of authenticity and nostalgia to this snapshot from medical history. Louis Figuier's contribution as an artist and writer for La Science Illustree cannot be overlooked when appreciating this remarkable artwork. This annual volume serves as a testament to Figuier's dedication towards promoting popular science during that era. Overall, this intriguing print offers us a unique window into 19th-century microbiological studies while reminding us that even serious scientific endeavors can be approached with creativity and humor.
