EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Tableaux de Paris series, created around 1820 by Jean Henri Marlet, depicts a poignant scene of an invalid being carried to the hospital. In this ancient street profession in Paris, we witness the compassionate brancardiers (bearers) carefully transporting the poor patient on a stretcher known as a civiere. Wrapped up tightly and visibly weakened by sickness, the bedridden individual relies on these dedicated carriers for their safe journey to Hotel-Dieu, one of Paris' renowned medical institutions. The urgency is palpable as they navigate through bustling streets filled with curious onlookers. The image captures not only the physical burden of illness but also highlights society's collective responsibility towards those in need. It serves as a reminder that health and well-being are universal concerns that transcend social boundaries. With his walking stick or cane clutched firmly in hand, the patient appears vulnerable yet resilient. This snapshot freezes a moment where compassion meets necessity – an emergency unfolding before our eyes. Marlet's color lithograph evokes empathy and invites contemplation about our own fragility and interconnectedness. As we gaze upon this historical tableau preserved at Musee d'Histoire de la Medecine in Paris, we are reminded of humanity's enduring pursuit of healing and care for all who suffer from disease or affliction.
