EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Alopecie caracteristique de la teigne pelade" showcases the artistic talent of the French School in the 19th century. The vibrant colour lithograph depicts a medical condition known as alopecia, which is characterized by hair loss caused by ringworm infection. The image provides a glimpse into the world of medicine during that era, highlighting both the signs and treatments available for this particular disease. It was originally created as an illustration for "Les Grands Maux et Les Grands Remedes" a book written by J Rengade and published around 1890. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable, capturing not only the physical manifestations of alopecia but also conveying the emotional impact it has on those affected. The viewer can almost feel their pain and suffering through this visual representation. As we explore this piece further, we are reminded of how far medical science has come since then. Today, there are more advanced remedies and treatments available for various illnesses like alopecia and other nail diseases such as onychocryptosis (ingrown nails). This print serves as a testament to human resilience in facing sickness and illness throughout history. It reminds us that even though our understanding of diseases may have evolved over time, art continues to be a powerful medium for documenting these experiences and shedding light on important aspects of our collective health journey.
