EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating moment in medical history - fumigation therapy, as depicted in The Works of Hippocrates. Created by Joseph Kuhn-Regnier in 1934, this colorful lithograph showcases the ancient Greek practice of using steam and fumes to treat sickness, particularly among women. Intriguingly, the illustration portrays a female patient seated high above the ground while gentle fumigations are administered. This unique method was believed to have therapeutic effects on various ailments affecting women's health. It is from De Maladies des Femmes, Livre Premier (Book One), emphasizing its significance for treating female-specific illnesses. The scene transports us back to antiquity when physicians played a vital role in curing illness and promoting good health. The physician depicted here is fully engaged in his medical duties, attentively tending to his patient with utmost care and expertise. The image highlights the doctor's use of a pot emitting healing fumes while demonstrating his knowledge and skill as a medical practitioner. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, doctors sought innovative ways to alleviate suffering and restore well-being. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from The Stapleton Collection, we are reminded of Hippocrates' enduring legacy and how medicine has evolved over time. This print offers us an intriguing glimpse into ancient Greek healthcare practices while celebrating the dedication of those who have devoted their lives to healing others throughout history.
