EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of the scurvy disease, taken from the renowned book "Nature and Man" by Rengade in 1881. Housed in a private collection, this piece offers a glimpse into the medical knowledge and artistic expression of the 19th century. The intricate details of the engraving highlight the devastating effects of scurvy on human health. The artist, Alphonse Demarle (1826-1896), skillfully captures the physical toll this disease takes on its victims. From their haggard appearance to their weakened bodies, every element conveys a sense of suffering and despair. As we delve into this image, we are transported back to a time when medical understanding was still evolving. Scurvy was once a prevalent affliction among sailors and explorers due to vitamin C deficiency during long sea voyages. This engraving serves as both an educational tool and a testament to humanity's quest for knowledge about diseases that plagued our ancestors. Preserved within The Holbarn Archive, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only Demarle's artistry but also the historical significance of medical illustrations from centuries past. It reminds us how far we have come in terms of healthcare advancements while honoring those who dedicated themselves to studying these ailments. Through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images, we can now explore this remarkable piece that encapsulates both scientific curiosity and artistic mastery from an era long gone by.
