The Doctor by Sir Luke Fildes – 1930s Petrolagar Exhibit Reproduction in Origina

This poignant framed print is a 1930s sculpticolor reproduction of "The Doctor" by Sir Luke Fildes—commissioned as part of the Petrolagar Exhibit. This traveling public health display honored the quiet heroism of family physicians. Measuring 6 3/4 x 4.5 inches, this piece retains its original black wood frame with well-adhered informational backing, including historical details about the artwork and its inspiration. The print appears untouched, with original eye hooks and picture wire still intact—signs of careful preservation and authenticity. The scene captures a Victorian physician seated at the bedside of a sick child, attended by grieving parents in a modest cottage. It's more than art—it’s a time capsule of empathy, trust in medicine, and mid-century American values. This version was distributed during Petrolagar's public outreach campaigns to promote the role of the family doctor—making it both a medical history artifact and a moving visual narrative.
