EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a satirical artwork depicting the intriguing world of barber-surgeons during medieval times. The image portrays these skilled professionals and their patients as playful monkeys, adding a whimsical touch to an otherwise serious subject. At the bottom, we witness the traditional role of barbers being performed, while at the top, surgical and medical roles are depicted. In medieval times, barbers were responsible for carrying out surgeries instead of doctors. It wasn't until the 18th century that these professions became distinct once again. This fascinating piece of art originated in Italy and was obtained from Eugen Hollander's renowned book "Die Karikatur und Satire in der Medizin" (Caricature and Satire in Medicine) published in 1921. The monochrome illustration captures the essence of this historical period with its attention to detail and intricate portrayal of human figures alongside mischievous monkeys. It offers a glimpse into both the practices and perceptions surrounding medicine during that era. As we delve into this thought-provoking artwork, it serves as a reminder of how far medicine has evolved over time. From barber-surgeons treating patients to our modern-day operating rooms filled with highly specialized surgeons, this image invites us to reflect on the rich history behind our understanding and practice of medicine today.
