Description:
These iconic illustrations still appear in medical textbooks, journals, and peer presentations. The ubiquitous images and the biases they perpetuate contribute to gout being underdiagnosed, underprioritized, and undertreated, with negative patient outcomes.
We set out to correct the historical record by updating the original illustrations to reflect the truth. We selected five images portraying gout myths that still impact patient care today—Race, Socioeconomic Status, Diet and Lifestyle, Disease Stigma, and Disease Presentation—and meticulously recreated them by hand. Structural integrity, composition, and brushstroke were carefully replicated. Original paper texture and typography were duplicated, and historical accuracy was ensured.
Recreated versions of the iconic originals were featured in a leather-bound anthology, series of fine art posters, and an immersive website examining sociopolitical history and modern repercussions. The illustrations became teaching tools about patient demographics, disease presentation, and stigma.
