Vaccination i en skole 1839 - 1917

"Vaccination i en skole" is a sepia-toned watercolor depicting a scene of a school vaccination in Denmark. Created between 1839 and 1917 by Hans Smidth, the artwork portrays a crowded room with individuals waiting for their vaccinations. The scene is filled with figures, with a focus on children receiving their inoculations. This small-scale drawing (290mm x 333mm) is a testament to Smidth's keen observation and serves as a fascinating glimpse into 19th century Danish health practices. The artwork is currently held at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
