Dangerous Cures - A Glimpse into the Unsettling World of Animal Medicine
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Dangerous Cures" takes us back to the early 20th century at the New York Zoo. The image showcases a remarkable scene that both intrigues and unsettles viewers. In this color lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness an extraordinary sight - a rhinoceros being operated on for cataracts. The photograph captures the intense atmosphere surrounding this risky medical procedure. The crowd gathers anxiously as keepers and veterinarians work together to treat this majestic creature's vision impairment. Chains and ropes are used to secure the massive animal during its treatment, highlighting the inherent danger involved in such an undertaking. Despite its unsettling nature, this image also sheds light on humanity's dedication to caring for animals' health and well-being. It serves as a testament to our ongoing efforts in veterinary medicine and zoological advancements. Beltrame's illustration was originally featured in Courier Sunday in June 1908, offering readers a glimpse into one of New York City's most popular attractions at that time - the zoo. This artwork not only documents a significant moment in history but also reflects society's fascination with science, natural history, and zoology. As we gaze upon this intriguing print from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, it reminds us of how far we have come in our understanding of animal health while simultaneously raising questions about ethics and safety standards within veterinary practices throughout history.
