Elii Castaritas elii02 — From the delicate porcelain doll in her beaded satin gown on the cover, you know you are in for an esthetic experience at the sensitive hands of the women responsible for this book. Porter is curator of the History of Medicine Collections at Duke University. Art historian Hansen was brought on board to write this catalog of a show the two assembled from the collections of four North Carolina medical schools. Items on display included a rare hand-colored copy of Vesalius’ Renaissance anatomy text, a Japanese scroll depicting the god of wind unleashing the devastation of Hiroshima during World War II, a series of tinted stereopticon cards revealing diseases of the skin, one of four known copies of the first book to use the term ophthalmology, a 17th-century copy of a 14th-century Persian text on the circulatory system…I’m devastated I didn’t know about the show while it was occurring, so I could have visited these treasures in person. One of the most exquisite items in the book is an ivory bas-relief called “Vanitas skeleton tomb scene.” Like many of the items in the medical schools’ collections, the origin of this piece is unknown. A skeleton with a severely curved spine leans against a clock. At his feet rest a peasant’s scythe, a pope’s crown, and a knight’s helmet. This fragile beauty was, for me, worth the price of the book. Some illustrations are difficult to examine, like the two-part etching of “Amputation using a screw tourniquet” and the German woodcut of a flayed brain flaps of skin hang down alongside the droopy eyes of a man’s face not yet removed from his skull. It’s hard not to empathize with the victims pictured here. While the anatomy artworks were the main draw for me, the inclusion of alchemical illustrations, Italian apothecary jars, ivory-handled tooth keys, and botanical illustrations round out the milieu in which the medical models and texts would have been used. I found them very evocative. Beyond the beautifully reproduced photos of the show, the text of The Physician’s Art is filled with fascinating tidbits. I had no idea there was a name for a man flayed of his skin, but a three-dimensional statuette is called an “écorché” and harkens back to St. Bartholomew holding his own skin on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. I’m glad to have made the acquaintance of Mme. Angélique du Coudray, an 18th-century midwife commissioned by the King of France to teach childbirth techniques in an effort to lower the infant mortality rate. Pills silvered or gilt for wealthy patients just go to show that medicine was always more palatable, the more you could afford to pay.
