EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical significance of "De Acupunctura" by W. Ten Rhijne, a groundbreaking Western text from 1683 that delves into the world of acupuncture. The image captures an engraving of this pivotal work, which is considered the first comprehensive exploration of acupuncture in Western medicine. The print exudes an air of antiquity and intellectual curiosity, transporting us back to London in the 17th century when this revolutionary text was published. The intricate details and delicate lines etched onto the paper reveal the skillful artistry employed by an unknown artist to bring this medical treatise to life. Intriguingly, "De Acupunctura" not only sheds light on ancient Chinese healing practices but also highlights how different cultures have contributed to our understanding of health and well-being throughout history. This fusion between Eastern and Western knowledge is symbolized by the convergence of human anatomy with traditional acupuncture techniques depicted in the engraving. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how far medical science has come since its publication over three centuries ago. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit for knowledge and innovation in improving our physical and mental wellness. Giancarlo Costa's expert photography preserves this invaluable artifact for future generations, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and its profound impact on medical history.
