EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, a time when surgical procedures were far from advanced as they are today. The engraving depicts a scene of trepanation and an operation on the eye and face, showcasing the medical practices of that era. The image is taken from Lorenzo Heister's renowned book "Institutionis chirurgicae" published in 1750. This historical piece provides valuable insight into the world of surgery during this period. It highlights both the ingenuity and limitations of medical knowledge at that time. The surgeon in focus delicately performs these intricate procedures with specialized instruments, demonstrating their expertise and dedication to patient care. The significance of this engraving lies not only in its artistic value but also in its representation of human resilience and determination to improve health. One cannot help but ponder upon the challenges faced by patients who sought such treatments for various ailments affecting their eyesight or facial health. This visual documentation serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of medical advancements over centuries. As we gaze upon this intriguing artwork, it evokes curiosity about our own understanding of medicine today. It prompts us to appreciate the progress made since then while acknowledging those who paved the way for modern surgical techniques.
