EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "A Ward in the Hotel-Dieu, Paris" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of medicine during the Middle Ages. The image, part of a private collection, was originally featured as a frontispiece in Paul Lacroix's book "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages". The scene depicts a bustling ward within the renowned Hotel-Dieu hospital in Paris. We see doctors attending to patients while surrounded by an array of medical tools and equipment. The wood-panelled walls exude an air of antiquity, transporting us to a bygone era. The engraving highlights not only the architectural beauty of this medieval hospital but also emphasizes its significance as a place of healing and grace. It reminds us that even centuries ago, healthcare played an essential role in society. Through meticulous digital cleaning, this print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail with clarity. From Archbishop Patriarch of Bourges' manuscript register granting privileges to doctors diligently tending to their patients; every element tells its own story. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how far medical science has come since those early days. Yet it also serves as a reminder that compassion for others' well-being has always been at the heart of healthcare practices throughout history.
