EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed English physician, Edward Jenner, in 1837. Born in 1749, Jenner practiced medicine as a country doctor in Gloucestershire. It was through his keen observations that he discovered the link between cow-pox and immunity to smallpox. In an extraordinary experiment conducted in 1796, Jenner vaccinated young James Phipps multiple times with pus from cow-pox pustules obtained from a dairy maid. Subsequently, he inoculated the boy with smallpox, which resulted in only mild illness followed by complete recovery. Edward Jenner's groundbreaking work revolutionized the field of medicine and established him as a pioneer in vaccination. This portrait is part of The Gallery of Portraits by Charles Knight published in London during the same year. The monochrome engraving showcases Jenner's distinguished features and reflects his significant contribution to public health. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Edward Jenner's unwavering dedication to science and his commitment to saving lives through immunization. His legacy continues to inspire generations of medical professionals worldwide who strive to eradicate diseases for the betterment of society.
