EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 17th century Bandar Abbas, Iran, where a skilled surgeon is depicted operating on a patient's leg to remove worms. The meticulous engraving by Jan Luyken beautifully captures the scene of this historical medical intervention. In an era when hygiene standards were vastly different from today, this illustration serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by doctors and patients alike. With his trusted assistant by his side, the surgeon carefully performs the operation in an unhygienic environment. The image showcases not only the expertise of the Persian surgeon but also highlights the importance of early medical interventions. Worm infestations were common during that time period and required immediate attention to prevent further complications. As we gaze upon this archival piece, we are transported into a world where medical knowledge was limited yet constantly evolving. It serves as both a testament to human resilience and an appreciation for how far modern medicine has come. Let this mesmerizing print be a window into history, allowing us to reflect on our advancements in healthcare while acknowledging those who paved the way for future generations of doctors and surgeons.
