EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the late Dr. Edmund Alexander Parkes, a prominent figure in the field of military hygiene during the 19th century. Dr. Parkes served in the British Army, with notable assignments in India and Burmah from 1842 to 1845, and in the Crimean War as the superintendent of the hospital at Renkioi on the Dardanelles. He is best known for his authoritative work on Practical Hygiene, which became an invaluable resource for the military and medical communities. Dr. Parkes' expertise extended beyond the military sphere, as he was also an examiner for the Army, Indian, and Naval medical services, and one of the examiners in medicine for the University of London. In 1871, he collaborated with Dr. Burdon Sanderson on a significant report on the sanitary state of Liverpool. The image, an engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Barraud and Jerrard, captures Dr. Parkes in his academic attire, with a serious yet thoughtful expression. The print, from the Illustrated London News in 1876, serves as a poignant tribute to a man who dedicated his life to the advancement of health and hygiene within the military and beyond. Dr. Parkes' legacy continues to influence the medical and military fields, leaving a lasting impact on the understanding and implementation of hygiene practices. This print offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable individual whose contributions to science and education were instrumental in shaping the course of history.
