EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts a pivotal moment in childbirth - turning a baby in its mother's womb so that the head is presenting downwards before birth. The German School artist skillfully captures this delicate procedure, highlighting the intricate relationship between medicine and pregnancy. The image serves as an illustration for Anna Fischer's book "La Femme, Medecin du Foyer" published around 1900. It showcases the challenges faced by women during pregnancy and emphasizes the importance of medical intervention to ensure a safe delivery. The difficulties and complexities surrounding childbirth are evident in this print. It sheds light on the immense physical strain experienced by expectant mothers while also showcasing advancements in medical science and healthcare services available at that time. Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine, symbolizes healing and plays a significant role in this artwork. His presence signifies both hope and reassurance for pregnant women seeking proper care during labor. This engraving not only portrays a crucial moment but also highlights society's recognition of female health issues during that era. It stands as a testament to how far we have come in understanding prenatal care, emphasizing the significance of ensuring both maternal and infant well-being throughout pregnancy.
