EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Doctor and servant, 13th century" captures a scene from medieval England. The doctor, adorned in an elaborate ensemble consisting of a Phrygian cap, mantle, dalmatica with embroidered girdle and hem, and a tunic underneath, stands beside his servant who wears a simple single tunic. This illustration is taken from the book "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown published in London in 1910. The image showcases the stark contrast between social classes during that era. The doctor appears to be instructing his servant as he points towards something on a scroll while holding a pestle and mortar for grinding ingredients. It provides us with insight into the profession of medicine at that time - the attire worn by the doctor reflects his status as well as his expertise in this field. Emily Jessie Ashdown's captivating artwork transports us back to the thirteenth century when science and medicine were still developing. Through this print, we can observe how clothing played an important role in distinguishing one's occupation and social standing. This historical photograph serves as both an educational tool and a visual representation of life during medieval times. It allows us to appreciate the advancements made over centuries within the medical profession while also reminding us of our rich cultural heritage.
