EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Itinerant Doctor at Tien-sing, 1843" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century China. The artist, P Lightfoot, skillfully captures a snapshot of daily life in this oriental city. In the foreground stands a busy male doctor surrounded by a crowd of people eagerly awaiting his expertise. Dressed in traditional Chinese attire, he exudes an air of authority and knowledge. This itinerant physician is dedicated to his profession, traveling from place to place to offer his services and remedies. The setting is framed by an ornate gate that signifies both the entrance to the city and the gateway to healing. The scene showcases the fusion between science and tradition as this medicine man practices ancient medicinal techniques amidst a rapidly changing world. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this portrait-like engraving after Thomas Allom's original artwork featured in "China Illustrated". Published by Fisher, Son & Co. , London & Paris in 1843, this print transports us back two centuries ago when quack doctors were still prevalent but also respected figures within society. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into the rich history of medicine in China while contemplating how healthcare has evolved over time.
