EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1923, where two remarkable veterinarians stand side by side. On the left is Swiss-South African veterinarian Arnold Theiler, a pioneer in veterinary science who dedicated his life to advancing medical knowledge. His groundbreaking work included developing vaccines for smallpox and rinderpest, as well as identifying and describing Theilers disease, a liver viral infection that affects horses. Standing beside him is US veterinarian John Robbins Mohler, an esteemed researcher known for his contributions in combating diseases such as Texas Fever in cattle and dourine in horses. Together, these two brilliant minds formed an unstoppable duo at the forefront of veterinary medicine during the early 20th century. The photograph captures them on October 1st against a backdrop of a historic building in Washington DC. Their determined expressions reflect their dedication to their craft and their unwavering commitment to improving animal health. This image belongs to the National Photo Company Collection from the Library of Congress archives. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come in veterinary medicine thanks to visionaries like Theiler and Mohler whose tireless efforts continue to shape our understanding of animal diseases today.
