EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print takes us back in time to ancient Greece, specifically to the era of Hippocrates of Cos. Born around 460 BC, Hippocrates is renowned as one of the most influential physicians in history. This engraving, created by James Tassie in London in 1811, beautifully captures the essence of this esteemed doctor. The image showcases a profile view of Hippocrates against a clean white background. His balding head and well-groomed beard lend an air of wisdom and experience to his countenance. With his gaze turned away from us, it seems as though he is lost deep in thought or perhaps observing patients under his care. The artistry behind this engraved image is truly remarkable. The intricate details etched into the gem-like surface give depth and texture to Hippocrates' features. It's fascinating how such craftsmanship can bring historical figures like him back to life. As we admire this studio shot from over two centuries ago, we are reminded not only of the significant contributions made by individuals like Hippocrates but also how far healthcare and medicine have advanced since then. This print serves as a powerful reminder that our understanding and practice of medicine today owe much to those who came before us
