EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Hysterical epilepsy, plate V from Iconographie Photographique de La Salpetriere" offers a glimpse into the world of mental illness in 19th-century France. Taken by Paul Regnard in 1876, this albumen print measures 9.5x6 cm and belongs to a private collection. Regnard was known for his collaboration with Desire Magloire Bourneville, a prominent French physician and psychiatrist who worked closely with Jean Martin Charcot. Together, they documented cases of hysteria and epilepsy through photography, providing valuable insights into these conditions. In this particular image, we see a female patient suffering from hystero-epilepsy. Her arms are crossed tightly across her chest as she gazes directly at the camera. The oval-shaped portrait captures her half-length figure against the backdrop of an asylum setting. The intensity in her eyes speaks volumes about the inner turmoil she must have experienced due to her mental illness. This photograph serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression within the fields of neurology and psychiatry. As we observe this haunting image today, it reminds us of how far our understanding of mental health has come over time while also highlighting the ongoing importance of empathy and compassion towards those affected by such conditions.
