EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures a chilling scene from 1874 France, where sickly Parisians are seen drinking fresh blood at the Abattoirs of La Villette. The practice of consuming blood as a form of alternative medicine was not uncommon during this time period, as it was believed to have healing properties and provide vitality to those who were unwell.
The group of individuals in the photograph appear desperate and frail, perhaps seeking relief from their ailments through this unconventional method. Their expressions range from curiosity to apprehension, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding such practices in the medical community.
The setting of the Abattoirs adds an eerie atmosphere to the scene, with its connotations of death and slaughter juxtaposed against the act of ingesting fresh blood for medicinal purposes. It serves as a stark reminder of the lengths people would go to in search of health and wellness before modern medicine advancements were made.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this historical moment through their print, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era where beliefs about health and healing were vastly different from our own. It is a powerful reminder of how far we have come in understanding medicine and healthcare practices throughout history.
