Objective: Analyze the symbolic elements on the cover of the 1904 of Revista da Semana on Vaccine Revolt as a means of imaging a social and sanitary movement. Method: This is a documental research that has utilized as a subject the preliminary phases of Erwin Panofsky's notions, pre iconographic and iconographic. Results: The vaccine's uprising portrayed on the cover of the magazine of the week of 1904 shows the imposition of sanitary measures by the government and the popular participation in the struggle against these abusive and vertical proposals with the risk prevention's speech. Conclusion: With this study it was possible to do a deepening about two characters who are opposite representatives in a society marked by determinants, social disparateness and politics that didn't assist the health and economical reality. And it also portrayed the power relationship in force at the time steps that culminated in the movement of Vaccine Revolt were implemented.

Over the last few years there has been a growing interest in iconography as an instrument for the historical research of the Nursing profession. There are still few and little known articles which use Numismatics as a source of study for the construction of the History of Care and Nursing. The present study aims, using a descriptive and documentary observation methodology, to locate and identify world coins in which are appreciated work and contributions to the profession and the society of illustrious nurses. A total of eleven coins considered relevant for the present study were selected. A small biographical account of the nurse that appears in each coin is made and coin description is made applying iconographic methodology. It is necessary to continue identifying, describing and contextualizing numismatic issues of interest for the study of the History of Care and Nursing.

In this review, the author describes and analyzes the contents of the book “The sick face” highlighting its great pertinence as a source for the history of medicine.

Numismatics is the hobby and art of collecting coins and banknotes from different eras and cultures. The reasons minted in various currencies allow us to know historical facts, empires, monarchs, evolution of art, customs and even allow us to display care related phenomena. This paper attempts to locate and identify world coins with images related to the practice of breastfeeding minted from 1900 to 2013 and its subsequent analysis using iconographic methodology. The currencies behave like an interesting and original source of study, yet to be discovered in its entirety, for the construction of the History of the Care and Nursing.

The iconography aims describing images. It allows us to understand the images on their semantic aspects, as is knowledge of the methods and analysis, and in order to unlock the messages hidden behind them, being a fundamental knowledge of the culture element. By analyzing the work of Joaquín Sorolla, Joaquina la gitana, we intend to make an approach to the reality of Roma women within their social context, following the three levels of significance of Erwin Panofsky. We thus find two personalities of the same woman. We are introduced to a woman dressed in black, one rooted in the traditions woman in the left hand. Is the “woman of respect” that meets the standards of the Roma people. And in another quite different style, is reflected the maternal aspect of the Roma, portrayed bright despite being a shadowy figure, with her child who appears to be breastfeeding. Through the analysis of this work, we have come a little closer to the reality of Roma women, and understand their experiences within the cultural environment of the Roma people.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate that iconographic material constitutes a source for nursing history. For that purpose, a descriptive, retrospective, comparative, ethnographic historical study was carried out. Iconographic materials come from all human ages and have been classified in categories such as: painting, sculpture, philately and photography. In order to potentiate the hermeneutic process from nursing perspective, categories from Virginia Henderson’s needs system have been used. The main conclusion of this study consists in demonstrating pertinence of iconography materials in order to develop historical knowledge of Nursing.

The aim of this work is to demonstrate that iconography becomes a source for nursing history. A descriptive, retrospective, comparative, ethnographic historical study was carried out. The iconographic material used corresponds to cave paintings from the Valencian County, declared world’s heritage. In order to potentiate the hermeneutical process from a nursing perspective, the Henderson’s needs system categorisation has been used. The main conclusion of this study is the demonstration of the pertinence of iconography when it comes to developing historical knowledge of nursing.

Portraits of sick people showing their illnesses were not really frequent along XIX century, compared to the full production of Spanish painters. This premise together with my own surprise at the discovering of the piece of art I herewith consider, were determinant on my decision to develop the present study. The piece of art, is a portrait by José Roldán painted around 1864, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the act of kissing the hand of the poorest and eldest man in the Charity Hospital of Seville. The reason for this study goes around the description of attitudes and behaviour towards the ill patient and his/her care taker in the Elizabethan Spanish period. It is a descriptive and interpreting study where characters appearing on the stage would be considered according to the events they are suppose to take part in. Who they are, why they are where they are and what sort of role they do perform. The piece of work was exhibited by Roldán in the National Exhibition 1864. It could be regarded within a Seville genre presenting a society of extreme Christian habits and their interest in religious processions, charity and festivity and civil celebrations. In the analyzed portrait nothing is merely accidental, those characters present must be present. Nursing, still voiceless at that time justifies punctually and clearly its presence there as there is an ill person who needs 'care'. The argument is the satisfaction of his vital needs be fulfilled.

Henderson’s need to communicate with other people to express emotions, needs, fears or opinions, constitutes the essential basis of help relationship (Rogers, 1986); this help relationship although it might be adapted in a paramount way to nursing care, could not always be totally transferred to those nursing cares. In order to identify help relationship along history, many sources have been used, being iconography one of them. The iconographic material to be used to verify or invalidate hypothesis is as much of a civil character as of a religious one, obtained by data collected from the National Prado Museum, Madrid Archeological National Museum, and the Cave Paintings around the Mediterranean area, in the Spanish Peninsula. Variables have been distributed in categories according to the characteristics of the so called help relationship. For the purpose of this test, the iconographic interpretation proposed by Panofsky (1995) as well as Siles’s diagrams (1999) have been used. The most ancient iconographies where help relashionship appears are from XI century and the most recent ones are from XIX century. 6 are from a religious origin and 6 from civil origin. As a final outcome there could be said, that in relationship verbal or no-verbal communication exists, and that the care taker is always informal.
