EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the esteemed Dr. A R Manby, physician to the Duke of Clarence in 1892. Known for his medical skills and dedication to his royal patient, Dr. Manby's efforts were sadly insufficient in preserving the duke from an early death. The somber expression on Dr. Manby's face hints at the weight of responsibility he carried as he tried to save the life of a member of royalty. Despite his best efforts, fate had other plans for the Duke of Clarence. In this poignant image, we are reminded of the fragility of life and how even the most skilled physicians can be powerless in the face of illness and mortality. The historical significance of this moment is palpable, as it represents a time when medical knowledge was still evolving and treatments were not always successful. As we gaze upon this photograph from MEI - Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd., we are transported back to a time when medicine was both revered and limited in its capabilities. Dr. A R Manby may not have been able to prevent tragedy in this instance, but his dedication to his profession shines through in this timeless image captured over a century ago.
