The Art of Reproduction in an Age of Mechanical Authenticity
|
In this all-nonfiction issue, Martha Graham Wiseman investigates the power of the image in our minds and in front of us in “The Art Of Reproduction in an Age of Mechanical Authenticity.” Joachim Glage thinks through what it means to grow and be old in “Thirteen Reflections on Old Age.” And Douglas Bauer considers what makes a good ending for a story in “The Whole of Anything Is Never Told.”
This issue features images showing the evolution of teaching about the stethoscope, via The Wellcome Trust.
Three images showing the evolution of teaching about the stethoscope. The first is Basil Hood at the bedside in 1906. The second is Karel Frederic Wenckebach demonstrating a boy’s heartbeat to a medical class: students listen through stethoscopes connected to a machine. (circa 1925) In the third, the class dispenses with the live boy, and listens to the first electric heart sound distribution system manufactured by Western Electric (circa 1929.)
