EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The stork its own Doctor" takes us back to the medieval era, where science and literature intertwined in fascinating ways. The image is a lithograph reproduction of a wood engraving from the 15th century Dyalogue des Creatures, as described by Paul Lacroix in his book Science and Literature in the Middle Ages. In this enchanting scene, we witness a male stork diligently attending to its own medical needs. Bending over with precision and care, the majestic bird treats itself using an exquisite flower. This depiction showcases not only the intelligence but also the resourcefulness of these remarkable creatures. Papias, whose testimony is cited by Lacroix, provides further evidence of this intriguing phenomenon. It seems that storks possess an innate ability to heal themselves when necessary—a testament to their resilience and self-sufficiency. As we gaze at this artwork captured by an anonymous French artist from the 19th century, we are transported into a world where nature's wonders were celebrated through intricate illustrations. The attention to detail in every feather and petal invites us to marvel at both artistry and nature's secrets. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans recognized and admired animals' unique abilities—a connection between man-made knowledge and natural wisdom that continues to inspire us today.
