“This procedure is attributed to one man. It appears to have required an entire room.”
A historic operating theater gathers around a single patient: practitioners, observers, assistants, witnesses, and all the unnamed labor that allowed knowledge to move beyond one celebrated moment.
This Heritage Museum shirt carries a fragment from The Miles Between, an examination of how surgical anesthesia became possible through preparation, observation, risk, repetition, documentation, and the work of many hands.
The front features an archival apparel treatment after Robert C. Hinckley’s historical depiction of the Ether Dome, accompanied by the line:
IT APPEARS TO HAVE REQUIRED AN ENTIRE ROOM.
HERITAGE MUSEUM · THE MILES BETWEEN
