Nightmare
Nightmare by Nicolai Abildgaard draws inspiration from Johann Henry Fuseli’s 1781 painting Nachtmahr. First exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1782, Fuseli’s work was rapidly reproduced and widely distributed across Europe in both authorized and unauthorized versions.
Childbirth and Puerperal Fever
Hundreds of years ago, when men calling themselves doctors decided to rob childbirth from the midwives and bring it into hospitals, the maternal mortality rate skyrocketed due to something called puerperal (or childbed) fever, a bacterial infection of the female reproductive tract following childbirth.
