EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 17th century, we are transported back in time to witness a medical practice of old - bloodletting. The image showcases a male doctor diligently applying leeches to the back of a female patient as a means of letting blood. The historical significance is palpable as we observe this early form of healthcare unfold before our eyes. The scene is set against an intricate backdrop, adorned with glassware and various medical instruments that reflect the meticulous nature of medicine during this period. The couple relationship between the doctor and patient is evident, highlighting the trust placed in medical professionals even centuries ago. The use of animal themes becomes apparent through the presence of leeches, which were commonly employed for their supposed therapeutic benefits. This illustration technique adds depth to our understanding of how human interest in healing has evolved over time. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it serves as a reminder not only of how far healthcare has progressed but also how deeply ingrained certain practices were within society's fabric.
