EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Bordering Hysteria" takes us back to the year 1887. Created by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century, this print is a fascinating glimpse into the world of mental health during that era. The image showcases a group of women in an asylum, their bodies contorted and their gestures wild with frenzy. The artist skillfully captures the essence of madness and hysteria through their expressions and movements. It is evident that these women are experiencing a state of uncontrollable craziness, bordering on lunacy. The engraving was originally published in "La Medecine Illustree" magazine by Dr. Gerard in France. This historical context adds depth to our understanding of how mental illness was perceived and treated at that time. Through this artwork, we are transported to late 19th-century Europe, where medical science was beginning to explore psychiatric disorders more extensively. The image serves as a reminder of the progress made in understanding mental health since then. Jaime Abecasis has beautifully captured this piece through his lens, preserving its historical significance for future generations. As we observe this engraving today, it prompts us to reflect on how far we have come in terms of recognizing and treating mental illnesses with compassion and empathy.
