"From Ancient Miracles to Modern Corruption: Exploring the Concept of Graft" In a remarkable 1429 artwork, SS. Cosmas and Damian are depicted performing a miraculous grafting procedure. They skillfully attach the leg of an Ethiopian man onto the stump of Deacon Justinian, showcasing their divine healing powers. This masterpiece, created with tempera and gold leaf on panel, captures the awe-inspiring nature of this medical feat. Another depiction of this miracle can be found in Ms 450 fol. 1 - a vellum manuscript that showcases the Miracle of the Black Leg. The intricate details on this piece further emphasize the significance and impact of grafting techniques throughout history. Moving forward in time, we encounter "Life on Board a Training-Ship, " where black-and-white photography immortalizes British sailors honing their skills for life at sea. These images symbolize how grafting knowledge was passed down through generations, shaping seafaring traditions. However, not all instances involving grafts have positive connotations. In 1871, John T. Hoffman and William Boss Tweed were engraved together in infamy due to their involvement in corrupt practices within American politics. A picture capturing Boss Tweed hugging Samuel J serves as a reminder that even those in power can abuse it for personal gain. Political cartoons from Harper's Weekly shed light on these scandals further; "Tweed-le-dee and Tilden-dum" satirically portrays political corruption while featuring Boss Tweed prominently. Another cartoon mocks his influence by depicting him as an oversized figure dominating New York City's landscape. Yet graft is not limited to politics alone; it extends into other realms such as medicine too. Selecta Praxis Medico-Chirurgica presents an image illustrating skin disease before an operation – highlighting how medical professionals combat ailments using various surgical techniques including grafts. As we reflect upon these historical events and artistic representations surrounding graft, the question arises: "What are you going to do about it.
