EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library captures a moment of intense spiritual and medical intervention in 19th century China. The image depicts an exorcism taking place, as a doctor is seen performing rituals to drive out a demon believed to be causing illness in his patient.
In traditional Chinese medicine, it was not uncommon for patients to be diagnosed as being possessed by evil spirits or demons. In such cases, the doctor would need to take on the role of an exorcist in order to effectively treat the sickness afflicting the individual.
The scene depicted in this historical photograph sheds light on the alternative methods used by doctors in ancient China to heal their patients. It showcases the deep connection between medicine and spirituality in Chinese culture, where physical ailments were often believed to have supernatural origins.
Through this powerful visual narrative, we are transported back in time to witness a fascinating blend of medical practice and religious belief. The intensity of the moment captured serves as a reminder of the complex history and traditions that have shaped healthcare practices around the world.
Mary Evans Prints Online has once again provided us with a window into another era, allowing us to appreciate and learn from these unique cultural practices that continue to intrigue and inspire us today.
