1869 Alfred Country House Call Medicine Patient Waud Prescription

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wood engraving, American, 1869, after a drawing by Alfred R. Waud" takes us back in time to the rural landscapes of America during the late 19th century. The image depicts a scene from daily life in the countryside, showcasing an iconic figure - the country doctor. In this beautifully detailed wood engraving, we see a middle-aged physician making his way on horseback towards a modest farmhouse. With his medical bag slung over his shoulder and prescription in hand, he is ready to attend to a patient's needs. As he approaches the house, two women anxiously await his arrival while two men stand nearby engaged in conversation. The artist Alfred R. Waud has masterfully captured not only the physical appearance but also the essence of this era's healthcare system. This snapshot highlights how doctors would travel long distances on horseback to provide medical care for those living far from urban centers. Through this artwork, we are transported into an era where house calls were common and personal connections between doctors and patients were cherished. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when medicine was practiced with dedication and compassion amidst rustic surroundings. Granger Art on Demand has once again brought history alive through their collection of timeless prints like this one – offering us glimpses into forgotten moments that shaped our nation's past.
