EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting and historically significant photograph captures a group of young boys afflicted with Chorea, also known as St. Vitus dance or Danse de Saint-Guy in France, experiencing convulsions. Dating back to the year 1880, this image provides a glimpse into the medical history of how such conditions were perceived and treated during that era.
The boys in the photo appear to be in distress, their bodies contorted by involuntary movements characteristic of this neurological disorder. The term "St. Vitus dance" refers to the jerky and uncontrolled motions that those affected by Chorea often exhibit, resembling a form of dance associated with the medieval Christian saint.
In France, this condition was referred to as Danse de Saint-Guy, further emphasizing the cultural variations in understanding and naming such afflictions across different regions. The blurred figures captured in this print evoke a sense of mystery and unease, highlighting the paranormal aspects often attributed to illnesses like Chorea during that time period.
As we reflect on this historical photograph from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of how far medical science has come in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders. It serves as a poignant reminder of our collective journey towards better understanding and compassion for those grappling with such conditions throughout history.
