1880s Cartes De Visite Doctor Glasses Physician Spectacles Clinician Meeting Of Frontiers White And Black

EDITORS COMMENTS
This three-quarter length portrait captures the enigmatic and intelligent gaze of Ivan Petrovich Botkin, a prominent Russian clinician and physician from the late 19th century. The image, taken between 1880 and 1886, shows Botkin facing slightly left, with a well-groomed beard and a pair of wire-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose. Dressed in the formal attire of the time, Botkin exudes an air of authority and expertise. Botkin's career was marked by significant contributions to the field of medicine, particularly in the area of infectious diseases. He was a dedicated and compassionate physician, known for his innovative approaches to diagnosing and treating illnesses. Botkin's work brought him to the attention of the Russian government, and he was appointed to several prestigious positions, including attending physician to the Imperial Family. This portrait, likely a carte de visite, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man who left an indelible mark on the history of medicine. The image is a testament to the meeting of frontiers between science and art, as the unknown photographer skillfully captured the essence of Botkin's character and intellect. The portrait is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of heritage art and historical documents that tell the story of America's rich cultural heritage.
