In this scene, titled "Mr. Sax is wounded by the black doctor" we see Sax himself being tended to by a mysterious figure known as the "black doctor". The engraving, created by Nadar (Gaspard Felix Tournachon) in 19th century France, showcases his talent for capturing both caricature and emotion. The image depicts Sax with an exaggerated expression of pain on his face while the black doctor attends to him. The details are richly rendered, from their clothing to their facial expressions, adding depth and character to this whimsical portrayal. Sax's invention revolutionized music forever, giving birth to one of the most iconic instruments in jazz and other genres. This print not only celebrates his genius but also adds an element of playfulness through its satirical tone. As viewers engage with this artwork from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, they are invited into a world where creativity meets comedy. It serves as a reminder that even great inventors like Mr. Sax can find themselves needing assistance from unexpected sources – in this case, a skilled black doctor who tends to his wounds with care.
