EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1554, capturing a moment of childbirth in Germany. The image showcases a woman surrounded by midwives, finding solace and support in an obstetrical chair. Created as a woodcut by Jacob Rueff, this illustration beautifully depicts the significant role midwives played during pregnancy and childbirth. The scene exudes both strength and vulnerability as the pregnant woman relies on the expertise of her trusted midwives. The intricately designed obstetrical chair stands tall in the room's interior, symbolizing comfort and stability amidst such an intense experience. It serves as a testament to medical advancements of that era. Rueff's woodcut expertly captures the essence of German culture at that time, showcasing their dedication to providing quality care for expectant mothers. This historical artwork is not just about birth but also represents women's empowerment through collaboration with skilled professionals. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, we are reminded of how far medical practices have come since then while appreciating the timeless beauty captured within this snapshot of history.
