EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1901, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of medical treatment during that era. The image showcases Francisque Crotte, a renowned French doctor, as he demonstrates his innovative cure for tuberculosis using electricity. In this demonstration, Crotte employs an electrostatic machine to produce the necessary electrical currents. The scene unfolds in what appears to be a modestly furnished room, with a group of individuals attentively observing the procedure. Among them is a female scientist who seems particularly engrossed in the spectacle. Seated on a chair, she watches intently as Crotte administers his therapy to an unidentified patient suffering from tuberculosis. This photograph not only captures the essence of early 20th-century medicine but also sheds light on societal dynamics at that time. It portrays both men and women engaged in scientific pursuits and highlights their roles within various professions. While some may view Crotte's methods as quackery today, it is important to remember that this was an era marked by experimentation and exploration in medical science. This image serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding and treatment of diseases like tuberculosis. Preserved through time by Ann Ronan Pictures, this print offers us valuable insights into our medical history while simultaneously evoking curiosity about our progress since then.
