EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment during Pasteur's Jubilee celebrations in 1892 at the Sorbonne, Paris. The artwork by Jean-Andre Rixens showcases British surgeon Joseph Lister, clad in his gown, ascending the steps towards French chemist Louis Pasteur. This meeting between two legendary figures symbolizes their immense contributions to reducing disease and infection. In this illustration, both Lister and Pasteur are seen being applauded and cheered on by an enthusiastic crowd of peers and admirers. It is worth noting that Pasteur required support due to a series of strokes he had suffered since 1868. Despite his health struggles, his presence exudes reverence as he meets with Lister. Lister's groundbreaking work in sterile surgery revolutionized medical practices while Pasteur's germ theory of disease laid the foundation for modern microbiology. Their achievements earned them celebrity status among both professionals and the general public alike. The grand auditorium serves as a backdrop for this historical event, where distinguished individuals from various fields gather to honor Pasteur on his 70th birthday on December 27th. This remarkable artwork is held at the Sorbonne itself – a testament to its significance within scientific history. As we observe this snapshot from the late 19th century, it reminds us of how these visionary minds shaped medicine and continue to inspire generations of researchers today.
