EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Philippe Rcord, a prominent French venereologist who lived from 1799 to 1889. Known as the "Voltaire of pelvic literature". Rcord's contributions to the field of medicine were highly regarded by his contemporaries. The renowned physician Oliver Wendell Holmes himself described him in such terms, highlighting the immense respect and admiration he commanded. The accompanying cartoon, created by Andre Gill for La Lune on October 10th, 1867 in Paris, adds an artistic touch to this historical snapshot. It beautifully captures Rcord's essence and significance within the medical community during that era. Rcord's expertise primarily revolved around sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or veneral diseases as they were known back then. His groundbreaking research and writings shed light on these afflictions and contributed greatly to their understanding and treatment. This print serves as a testament to Rcord's lasting legacy in the realm of medicine. It reminds us of his invaluable contributions towards combating STDs and promoting sexual health awareness during a time when such topics were often shrouded in silence. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in medical history where individuals like Philippe Rcord played a crucial role in advancing our knowledge of human health.
