The drawing depicts Edward Jenner, a renowned doctor from the 18th century, vaccinating his own son against smallpox. Smallpox was a dreaded disease with devastating consequences, claiming the lives of many and leaving survivors disfigured. In 1796, Jenner introduced cowpox inoculation as a means to achieve immunity to smallpox. In this experiment, he used fluid obtained from a blister on the hand of Sarah Nelmes, a milkmaid who had contracted cowpox. He then inoculated his eight-year-old son James Phipps with this fluid and later exposed him to smallpox. Miraculously, young James survived unscathed by the deadly disease. Jenner's groundbreaking discovery led to widespread vaccination practices that transformed healthcare forever. His statue by Monteverde immortalizes this pivotal moment in medical history when vaccination became an essential tool in combating infectious diseases. The image not only captures the dedication and bravery of Edward Jenner but also symbolizes hope for future generations in their fight against deadly viruses. It serves as a reminder of how scientific breakthroughs can shape our world for the betterment of humanity's health and well-being.
