EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Enema, illustration from The Works of Hippocrates" takes us back to ancient times when medical practices were vastly different. Created in 1934 by Joseph Kuhn-Regnier, this color lithograph showcases a scene from the renowned works of Hippocrates. The image portrays a sickbed where a female patient is being treated by a physician. In an attempt to cure her illness, the doctor administers an enema, following the instructions outlined in Hippocrates' writings. This rectal cleansing procedure was believed to have therapeutic benefits and was commonly used during that era. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; it transports us into antiquity and allows us to witness an essential aspect of medical history. It serves as a reminder of how far medicine has come since then and highlights the significant advancements made over time. As we gaze at this image, we are reminded of the dedication physicians had towards their patients' well-being even centuries ago. It also prompts reflection on our own modern healthcare practices and how they continue to evolve for the betterment of humanity's health. This thought-provoking piece from Bridgeman Images captures not only a historical moment but also invites contemplation about our own understanding and appreciation for medical science today.
