EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Diseases of the Eye" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a range of eye conditions that were prevalent during that time. The image is a colour lithograph from an English School and is now part of a private collection. The print was originally created as an illustration for "The Home Handbook of Domestic Hygiene and Rational Medicine" by J. H. Kellogg in 1902, published by the International Tract Society. It serves as a visual guide to educate readers about various eye diseases and their symptoms. In this detailed composition, we can observe different afflictions such as granulated lids, irregular pupils, congested eyes, purulent conjunctivitis, phlyctenular conjunctivitis, ectropium (an eyelid turning outward), perforated cornea, soft cataract formation, pterygium growth on the surface of the eye, and iritis (inflammation of the iris). Despite its medical nature depicting diseased eyes in distressing states, this print also emphasizes healthy eyes for comparison purposes. It reminds us how precious our vision is and highlights the importance of maintaining good ocular health through proper hygiene practices. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artwork which not only serves as an educational tool but also showcases the advancements made in medicine over time. This photograph offers viewers a unique glimpse into past medical knowledge while reminding us to appreciate our own healthy eyesight today.
