Both the design and purpose of the laryngoscope have been changed significantly since Alfred Kirstein invented his own "laryngeal mirror"--the autoscope. An initially straight, rigid oesophageal tube has been reshaped into a number of laryngeal blade modifications, suitable for use in various patient subpopulations. A tool initially intended to help otorhynolaryngologists diagnose and treat laryngeal diseases has been transformed into an instrument intended to help anesthesiologists intubate the trachea for the purpose of either anesthesia administration or airway maintenance. As direct laryngoscopy depends greatly upon individual manual skills, there has been almost no beginner who feels no proud of his first successful intubation. Thus, we should never forget the pioneers of laryngoscopy whose curiosity, creativity, and enthusiasm enabled us to give a clear and safe look into the larynx.
