EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed German surgeon, Ernst von Bergmann (1836-1907), who revolutionized the field of medicine with his introduction of surgical instrument sterilization. Known for his pioneering work in asepsis and hygiene, von Bergmann's contributions to medical practices were truly groundbreaking. In this historic moment frozen in time, we witness von Bergmann being summoned to San Remo to examine none other than Emperor Frederick III of Germany (1831-1888). The Prussian Crown Prince was tragically suffering from terminal cancer of the larynx, a condition that would ultimately claim his life in 1888. The engraving featured here originates from The Illustrated London News on December 24th, 1887. It beautifully portrays the dedication and expertise of von Bergmann as he meticulously examines the royal patient. This image serves as a testament to both the significance of this medical encounter and its impact on future advancements in surgery. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured through ink and paper, we are reminded not only of Ernst von Bergmann's invaluable contributions but also of the profound influence that one individual can have on an entire field. Through his tireless efforts and innovative thinking, von Bergmann forever changed the course of medicine by introducing essential sterilization techniques still used today.
