Administering Medication - A Glimpse into 19th Century Healing Practices
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, titled "Administering Medication" offers a fascinating window into the medical practices of 19th-century America. The artwork, created by an unknown American School artist, showcases a scene of healing and care within a domestic setting. In the center of the composition sits a young girl, dressed in frills and wearing glasses, resting comfortably in an upholstered chair. Beside her stands a distinguished-looking doctor donning a long coat and wig. With utmost concentration, he administers medicine to his patient while holding an advertisement for Hunts Remedy Company – renowned for its herbal remedies. The room exudes an air of tranquility as other children observe from nearby chairs. Ephemera adorns the walls, emphasizing the importance placed on health during this era. The presence of Providence suggests that this scene takes place in Rhode Island—a testament to local healing traditions. This artwork not only captures the essence of medical science at that time but also highlights society's belief in finding solace through traditional remedies. It serves as a reminder that healthcare has always been deeply intertwined with culture and history. As we gaze upon this piece from Fine Art Finder's Barbara Loe Collection, we are transported back to an era where doctors were revered healers and herbal medicines held great promise for curing ailments. It invites us to reflect on how far medical services have come while appreciating our ancestors' dedication to providing comfort and relief in times of sickness.
