EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait from 1890 showcases a young woman suffering from Lupus Vulgaris, a once disfiguring tubercular skin infection. The photograph is part of Jules Rengade's renowned collection "Les Grands Maux et les Grands Remedes" in Paris. Against a pristine white background, the woman gazes directly at the camera with her piercing eyes, revealing both vulnerability and strength. Numbered as thirteen within this historical series, the image captures the essence of an era marked by medical advancements and evolving healthcare practices. This vertical studio shot emphasizes her head and shoulders, allowing us to focus on her delicate features and blonde hair styled in accordance with French culture during that period. The text accompanying the print provides valuable insight into how modern drugs for tuberculosis have transformed this once prevalent illness into a rarity today. It serves as a reminder of our progress in combating diseases that were once considered incurable. Juxtaposing Western script against her flawless complexion draws attention to the significance of healthcare and medicine throughout history. The illustration technique employed by Rengade highlights not only the physical manifestation of Lupus Vulgaris but also its impact on human skin. As we observe this poignant portrayal, we are transported back to late 19th-century France when individuals like this brave young woman endured immense suffering due to such conditions. Through photographs like these, we gain an appreciation for how far we have come in our understanding and treatment of diseases that plagued humanity long ago.
