EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 18th century, offering a glimpse into the intriguing world of Franz Mesmer's consulting room. Located in a parish soon after his groundbreaking treatise "Memoire sur la decouverte de magnetism animal" was published in 1779, this room became synonymous with alternative medicine and mesmerism. At the center of the image stands Mesmer's tub, an extraordinary vat filled with dilute sulphuric acid. Surrounding it are patients engaged in therapy sessions, either holding hands or grasping one of the iron bars that project from the tub. This peculiar arrangement aimed to harness the power of animal magnetism - a concept introduced by Mesmer himself. The scene exudes an air of mystery and curiosity as individuals seek solace and healing through this unconventional method. The print serves as a testament to Mesmer's influence on psychology, medicine, and even hypnotism. Published shortly after his treatise gained recognition, this image provides valuable insight into early practices within alternative therapies. It invites us to ponder upon how our understanding of medicine has evolved over time while also acknowledging historical figures like Mesmer who paved the way for new perspectives on healing. As we gaze at this remarkable photograph captured by Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back in time to witness firsthand an era when mesmerism held great promise for those seeking relief from ailments both physical and psychological.
