EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking chromolithograph depicts the secondary stage of syphilis, specifically focusing on the manifestation of syphilitic chancres on the face. The image shows several indurated chancres on the forehead, eyelids, tongue, and lips, as well as an ecthymatous chancre on the chin. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the Treponema pallidum bacterium. In the secondary stage, which typically appears between two and eight weeks after infection, symptoms can include a rash of roseola, erythema, and papular or macular lesions on various parts of the body. This illustration is taken from the first American edition of "Freeman J. Bumstead's Atlas of Venereal Diseases," published by Henry C. Lea in Philadelphia in 1868. The work is also known as the first American edition of Auguste Cullerier's "Precis iconographique des maladies veneriennes." The chromolithograph was produced by T. Sinclaire. During this period, syphilis was a major public health concern, and medical professionals relied on detailed illustrations like this one to aid in diagnosis and treatment. Mercury was the primary treatment for syphilis during the 19th century, although its effectiveness was limited and its side effects were often debilitating. This illustration serves as a reminder of the historical significance of syphilis and the role that scientific illustrations played in advancing medical knowledge during the late 1800s. It also underscores the importance of continued research and innovation in the field of sexually transmitted infections and the development of more effective treatments and preventative measures.
