EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A physician and his servant, 13th century" takes us back to a bygone era of medicine and servitude. Created in 1842 by Joseph Strutt, it offers a glimpse into the world of healthcare during the Middle Ages. In this scene, we see a bearded doctor dressed in elaborate attire, wearing a Phrygian cap and draped in a mantle. He holds a parchment scroll as he instructs his assistant who stands beside him with mortar and pestle in hand. The doctor's purple tunic peeks out from underneath his dalmatica with an embroidered girdle and hem. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element has been meticulously handcolored to bring life to this historical moment captured on paper. This image was taken from Sloan MS 1975, f. 91v - part of a medical and herbal miscellany dating back to the 13th century. Joseph Strutt's engraving is just one piece of his larger work called "Complete View of the Dress and Habits of the People of England". Published in London during the early 19th century, it aimed to document English costume design throughout history. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported not only through time but also into the fascinating world where medicine intertwined with tradition and hierarchy. It serves as both an educational tool for understanding our past practices while also reminding us how far we have come in modern healthcare advancements.
