EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Attack of Hysteria, Second Phase" is a powerful illustration from the renowned work "Iconographie Photographique de La Salpetriere" by Bourneville et P. Regnard. Taken in Paris in 1876, this albumen print measures 9.5x6 cm and belongs to a private collection. The image showcases a woman in the midst of an intense hysteria episode, capturing the raw emotions and turmoil associated with mental illness. Her face reflects madness and insanity as she sleeps soundly, seemingly unaware of her own condition. The oval shape framing her head adds to the overall composition's intensity. The photographer Paul Regnard collaborated closely with Desire Magloire Bourneville, a prominent French physician and psychiatrist who worked alongside Jean Martin Charcot at the Salpetriere hospital. Together they documented cases of hysteria and epilepsy through photography for scientific purposes. This photograph serves as both a historical record and an artistic representation of mental illness during that era. It sheds light on the early practices within psychiatry and neurology while also highlighting society's understanding (or lack thereof) regarding these conditions. As we observe this haunting image, we are reminded of how far our knowledge has progressed since then but also how much more there is to learn about mental health. It stands as a testament to the importance of compassionately addressing mental illnesses today while striving for better understanding tomorrow.
