EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing X-ray image, titled "Antelope Parasite," is part of the Boswell Collection, Box 165, held in the vast archives of Mary Evans Picture Library. Dated around the turn of the 20th century, this rare and captivating photograph offers a unique glimpse into the world of early medical discovery. The X-ray technology used to capture this image was still a relatively new and fascinating innovation at the time. The ability to peer inside the body without invasive surgery was a revolutionary advancement, and the medical community was eager to explore its potential. In this particular X-ray, the focus is on an antelope, and the image reveals the presence of a parasitic worm lodged within its intestines. The worm's distinct shape and position are clearly visible, providing valuable insights into its anatomy and life cycle. The image is presented on a lantern slide, a format commonly used for projecting visual content during lectures and presentations. This suggests that the X-ray was likely shown to an audience of curious minds, perhaps during a medical lecture or scientific conference. The Boswell Collection is a treasure trove of historical medical imagery, and this X-ray of an antelope parasite is a testament to the fascination and wonder that early medical discoveries held for those who lived through this era of scientific exploration. Today, we continue to be amazed by the power of X-rays to reveal hidden truths about the world around us, and this image serves as a reminder of the important role that medical history plays in shaping our understanding of the present and the future.
