EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable moment of a baby's birth with the aid of forceps. Taken from "An abridgment of the practice of midwifery" by William Smellie, this plate was created in 1786 by an unknown artist during the 18th century. The private collection that houses this precious piece allows us to witness a significant event in medical history. The image portrays a pregnant woman surrounded by doctors and midwives, all focused on safely delivering her child. The use of forceps, an instrument designed to assist difficult deliveries, is prominently featured as it delicately guides the baby into the world. This snapshot provides insight into both the anatomical aspects and emotional intensity involved in childbirth. Through this artwork, we are reminded of how far medical practices have advanced over time. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit for safer birthing methods. Additionally, it highlights the crucial role played by midwives and doctors in ensuring maternal and infant health during such transformative moments. Giancarlo Costa's expert capture brings life to this historical scene while preserving its authenticity. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but marvel at nature's miracle unfolding before our eyes – a new life entering our world amidst skilled hands and unwavering care.
