Original Photo

[Vaccines] [Women in Medicine] Original silver gelatin print photograph of a Vaccination clinic in rural European village. 1922. size is 3.5 x 5.5 in. Outdoor vaccination clinic administered by women, who are cleaning and preparing the equipment. Six figures stand around a table filled with glass vials, test tubes, and a makeshift hand-powered centrifuge (seated woman holds straps which rotate mechanism. Two clean-cut men in dark overcoats stand among the women; they could be medical specialists from a nearby city overseeing the clinic. While women faced discrimination in pursuing formal medical training to become doctors, they took part in many informal, yet critically important, roles in which they could support public health initiatives. Small loss to bottom left corner, not affecting any figures. Very good condition. Exceptional early photograph of a rustic vaccination clinic.
