EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Gillray cartoon from 1802, depicting the groundbreaking practice of vaccination against Smallpox using Cowpox serum. Created by renowned artist James Gillray, this satirical cartoon sheds light on the significant medical advancements made during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In 1796, English physician Edward Jenner proved the efficacy of vaccination when he successfully used Cowpox serum to protect against Smallpox. However, opposition to this revolutionary technique persisted for some time. This print serves as a visual reminder of both Jenner's pioneering work and the resistance faced in implementing his findings. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this historical moment to life. The image features various individuals including doctors, women, men, children - all representing different aspects of society affected by Smallpox and its potential cure. It highlights not only the scientific aspect but also emphasizes how medicine impacted people's lives at that time. As we delve into this piece further, it becomes evident that it is more than just an artistic creation; it is a testament to human progress in combating diseases through innovation and perseverance. With its rich history and thought-provoking satire, this print stands as a powerful representation of one man's determination to save lives while challenging societal norms
