EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical depiction of thyroid disease, taken from a book by Baron Jean Louis Alibert in 1817. The coloured engraving, created by the French School in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the medical understanding and treatment of this condition during that era. The image portrays a female figure suffering from thyro phraxie, an archaic term for inflammation or swelling of the thyroid gland. Her visibly swollen neck indicates the presence of goitre, a common symptom associated with thyroid disorders. This artwork serves as both an educational tool and a testament to the advancements made in medicine over time. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight not only the artist's skill but also their dedication to accurately representing medical conditions. It is evident that this piece was intended to contribute to scientific knowledge and promote further research on glandular diseases. Displayed within Bibliotheque de la Faculte de Medecine in Paris, France, this print holds historical significance as it sheds light on past understandings of health and illness. Its inclusion within eArchives Charmet signifies its importance as part of our collective medical heritage. Overall, this thought-provoking image invites viewers to reflect on how far we have come in diagnosing and treating thyroid diseases while acknowledging those who paved the way for modern medicine through their observations and illustrations.
