The Burns Archive Photo of the Week
Diphtheria Antitoxin Production, Paris, circa 1938
Dr. Emil von Behring and Dr. Kitasato Shibasaburō discovered the diphtheria antitoxin in 1890. It was the first specific medical therapy and turned the focus of the medical world toward the creation of serums to cure disease. This artistic photograph of large diphtheria anti-serum bottles in the production stage is from a series of images documenting the manufacturing process. It was taken in the popular European Bauhaus photographic style that, among other things, reflected a modernist concern and fascination with industrial production. These images were created to project an aura of abundance, uniformity, and order by documenting rows of materials. The composition intended to represent the beauty of the modern age. This ‘new photography’ was most popular in Germany but had many followers around the world. Photographs of medical subjects can be dated fairly accurately because physicians, in their advertising and documentation imagery, usually utilized the most modern of styles. This photograph was taken almost 50 years after the discovery of the antitoxin. Few medical discoveries have received such continued attention.
With thanks to The Burns Archive for providing historic medical photographs and commentary for this weekly feature
