EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the arm of William Pead, forever immortalized as a symbol of medical breakthrough and human resilience. The image originates from Edward Jenner's groundbreaking work, "An Inquiry into the Causes and Effects of the Variolae Vaccinae" engraved by Pearce around 1800. In this colored engraving by Skelton, we witness the pivotal moment when Jenner inoculated Pead with cowpox to develop immunity against smallpox. This revolutionary act paved the way for modern vaccination practices that have saved countless lives since. The print evokes a sense of awe and admiration for both Pead's bravery in volunteering for this experimental procedure and Jenner's visionary approach to medicine. It serves as a reminder that progress often requires individuals willing to challenge conventional wisdom in pursuit of better health outcomes. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded not only of the power of vaccines but also their potential side effects. The pustules on Pead's arm stand as testament to his sacrifice in advancing medical knowledge while highlighting the risks associated with such endeavors. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it encapsulates centuries' worth of scientific discovery and human triumph over disease. It invites us to reflect on our collective responsibility towards public health while appreciating those who came before us in shaping a healthier future.
