EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant piece of history - an obstetrical chair from 1513. The image showcases the chair in use, providing us with a glimpse into childbirth practices during the Renaissance era. The wooden chair itself is intricately designed, reflecting the craftsmanship of that time period. It stands as a testament to the advancements made in obstetrics and gynecology over centuries. The chair's purpose was to aid women during labor and delivery, offering support and comfort throughout the process. In this woodcut from Roslins Garden of Roses for Pregnant Women, we see a midwife attending to a pregnant woman seated on the obstetrical chair. The midwife wears a traditional hat symbolizing her expertise in assisting with childbirth. This image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate how far medical science has come since then. It serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience exhibited by women throughout history when it comes to bringing new life into this world. Sarin Images / The Granger Collection has beautifully captured this historical artifact through their lens, preserving it for future generations to admire and learn from. This print is not just an artwork but also an educational tool that sheds light on our past while celebrating women's experiences during pregnancy and childbirth.
