EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hystero-Epilepsy Contraction" by Paul-Marie-Leon Regnard takes us back to the streets of Paris in 1878. The image, captured through the technique of photogravure, measures 10.3 x 6.2 cm and showcases a moment frozen in time. In this intriguing composition, we witness an individual experiencing a hystero-epileptic contraction. The intensity of their physical manifestation is palpable as their body contorts with uncontrollable spasms and convulsions. It serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those afflicted with such conditions during that era. Regnard's meticulous attention to detail allows us to delve into the complexity of human emotions and experiences. Through his lens, he captures not only the physicality but also the vulnerability and strength exhibited by individuals grappling with neurological disorders. The monochromatic tones add depth and contrast to this small yet impactful piece of art from the Liszt Collection. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a different time when medical understanding was limited compared to today's advancements. This photograph print stands as a testament not only to Regnard's artistic prowess but also serves as an important historical document shedding light on society's perception and treatment towards those suffering from hystero-epileptic contractions in late 19th-century France.
