EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print titled "The effects of alcohol: the four stages of an alcoholic's life represented by their face and liver" captures the essence of a 19th-century medical illustration. The unknown artist skillfully depicts the devastating impact that alcoholism can have on both the physical appearance and internal organs. In this thought-provoking image, we witness the progression of alcoholism through four distinct stages. The faces portrayed in each stage tell a haunting story, reflecting the toll that excessive drinking takes on one's health. From a relatively healthy visage in the first stage to a deteriorated and aged countenance in the final stage, it is evident how alcohol ravages not only external beauty but also inner vitality. The inclusion of livers alongside each face serves as a stark reminder of how this addiction affects vital organs. As we move from left to right, these once-healthy livers transform into diseased and damaged specimens, mirroring the destructive nature of alcohol abuse. "The effects of alcohol" is more than just an artistic representation; it serves as a powerful educational tool about addiction and its consequences. This photograph offers valuable insight into historical perspectives on disease knowledge and anatomy while shedding light on societal attitudes towards health during that era. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings this artwork to life, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details even today. It stands as a testament to our ongoing quest for understanding human afflictions such as alcoholism while reminding us that knowledge is essential for combating them effectively
