EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the suffering of a woman afflicted with goitre, an enlargement of the thyroid gland caused by iodine deficiency. Taken from Jules Rengade's renowned book "Les Grands Maux et les Grands Remedes" in Paris around 1890, this image offers a glimpse into the past and highlights the importance of healthcare and medicine throughout history. The young woman depicted here exudes both pain and resilience as she gazes away from the camera, her brown hair cascading over her shoulders. Her swollen throat is clearly visible, symbolizing her struggle with this debilitating condition. The studio shot emphasizes her isolation, making it impossible to ignore her plight. The vertical composition adds to the gravity of the situation while Western script text accompanying the illustration provides valuable information about goitre and its causes. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in French culture during that time period, medical advancements were necessary to alleviate such ailments. Jules Rengade's illustration technique beautifully captures not only physical distress but also evokes empathy for those who have suffered from similar conditions. As we reflect on this historical image today, it reminds us of how far we have come in terms of healthcare research and treatment options. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) transports us back to Paris in 1890 when goitre was still prevalent among individuals lacking iodine intake. It stands as a testament to our ongoing commitment towards improving global health standards and eradicating preventable diseases
