EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming illustration by Oscar Pletsch, we are transported back to the year 1871, where a sick child is visited at home by a caring doctor. The scene depicts a tender moment as the physician attentively examines the young boy's tongue and takes his pulse at the wrist. The mother and a younger sibling anxiously watch on, their concern evident in their expressions. Pletsch, known for his illustrations in children's books, beautifully captures the essence of this family's struggle with illness. His attention to detail brings life to each character and evokes empathy from viewers across time. The doctor's visit symbolizes not only medical care but also compassion and support during challenging times. As he carefully observes the boy's physiology, one can imagine him formulating a diagnosis while offering words of comfort to ease both physical pain and worried hearts. This chromolithograph serves as a reminder that even in an era without advanced medicine or technology, human connection played an essential role in healing. It reminds us of our shared humanity throughout history when faced with sickness or adversity. As we gaze upon this poignant image captured over a century ago, let it serve as inspiration for us all to extend kindness and care towards those who need it most – just like this dedicated doctor attending to his young patient.
