Picture No 12445527
Date 1919
Description When All the World is Young - The Elixir of Youth
Details

Putting back the clock, some 'Voronoff' possibilities of the future. Satirical cartoon by Will Owen lampooning the claims of transplant pioneer Dr. Serge Voronoff that the grafting of interstitial gland of a monkey might restore an old man's strength, and act as an elixir of youth. Voronoff's techniques were popular during the 1920s but he eventually fell out of favour and his ideas were ridiculed.
