EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1557 depicts a remarkable incident reported by the renowned Ancient Greek historian Herodotus. In this intriguing scene, we witness a woman sitting in full length, holding a basket containing an egg she has diligently incubated. With an air of anticipation and wonderment, she is hatching a baby from this very egg. The artist skillfully captures the essence of ancient legend and human fertility through their illustration technique. The woman's headdress signifies her status as a mother, while her focused gaze away from us suggests the profound significance of new life emerging before our eyes. This vertical composition transports us back to Ancient Greece, where beginnings were celebrated with artistry and craft. The woodcut print not only showcases the creativity and imagination prevalent during the 16th century but also highlights themes of healthcare and medicine that have transcended time. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, women have played an essential role in nurturing life. As we admire this extraordinary artwork preserved over centuries, let it inspire us to appreciate the miracle of birth and honor those who have come before us in shaping our understanding of human existence.
