EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century in Italy, where childbirth was a delicate and often perilous affair. The image depicts a significant moment in medical history - the birth by caesarian section. Illustrated from Scipione Mercurio's renowned book "La Commare o Raccoglitrice" published in Verona in 1642, this work revolutionized obstetrics. In this scene, we witness a doctor standing attentively beside a pregnant woman lying on her back. Surrounded by four men offering their assistance, they form an intimate circle of care around the expectant mother. With focused determination, the surgeon holds his tools ready for surgery while looking away momentarily as if contemplating the gravity of this life-changing event. The atmosphere within these walls is filled with anticipation and hope as everyone awaits the arrival of new life. This illustration not only captures an extraordinary surgical procedure but also reflects Italian culture and its deep-rooted reverence for art and craft during that era. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, it serves as a poignant reminder of how far healthcare and medicine have advanced since then. It reminds us to appreciate our modern-day advancements while acknowledging those who paved the way for safer childbirth practices. Through this single image frozen in time, we are transported into an era where beginnings were both fragile and miraculous – reminding us of the enduring strength exhibited by women throughout history when bringing forth new life into the world.
