Ambroise Paré (1517-1590). ''Je le pansay; Dieu le guarist".
Composé par E. Hammann. Gravé par C. Manigaud.
[n.d., c.1880.]
Engraving on chine collé. 525 x 630mm (20½ x 25"), with very large margins. Laid on board.
A medical scene from the French Piedmont campaign (1537-8), in which the barber surgeon Ambroise Paré tends to the wounds of a 'Captain Rat'. His notes contained the famous quote "Je le pansai, Dieu le guérit" ("I bandaged him and God healed him"). Paré was a pioneer of battlefield surgery, reintroducing Roman techniques including using poultices instead of cauterising wounds with boiling oil and reintroduced the ligature of arteries instead of cauterization during amputations. In 1567, by experimenting on a condemned man, he proved that bezoar stones (the poisoning cure-all of the Harry Potter series) did not work.
Wellcome Library no. 9993i.
[Ref: 48603] £320.00
