EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print titled "Herbal remedies" captures the essence of early 20th-century medicine with a touch of satirical humor. Created by an English School artist, this illustration was originally featured in The Boys Own Annual in 1912. The image depicts a doctor surrounded by various plants, symbolizing the use of herbal remedies for treating ailments. With a scathing satire twist, it highlights the suffering and pain endured by patients seeking quick cures. The caricatured figures add to the comic element, making it both historic and humorous. In this satirical cartoon, we witness the clash between traditional medical practices and emerging scientific methods. It reflects on the historical significance of herbal medicine while poking fun at its limitations. The presence of Asklepios, the Greek god associated with healing and medicine, adds another layer to this artwork's narrative. Asclepius is depicted as an indoor plant, emphasizing his connection to botany and natural history. Through this lithograph illustration from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how far medical science has come since then. It serves as a reminder that even though some treatments may seem unconventional or outdated today, they were once considered legitimate options for those seeking relief from their sufferings. Overall, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century medical practices through its blend of satire and historical context.
