EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mesmer's revolutionary therapy sessions in his consulting room. The image takes us back to Paris in the late 18th century, where Mesmer's tub stood as a symbol of his groundbreaking work on animal magnetism. The tub, filled with dilute sulphuric acid, served as the centerpiece of these transformative sessions. Patients would gather around it, either holding hands or grasping one of the iron bars protruding from its sides. This unique arrangement aimed to harness the power of magnetism and induce a state of deep relaxation and healing. Published in 1870, this illustration offers a glimpse into an era when mesmerism was gaining popularity as an alternative form of therapy. Mesmer's treatise on animal magnetism had opened doors for him to establish his consulting room soon after its publication in 1779. As we observe this historical scene frozen in time, we can almost feel the energy that must have permeated through those therapy sessions. Mesmer's innovative approach challenged conventional medical practices and paved the way for modern hypnosis techniques. This print serves as a testament to Mesmer's enduring legacy and reminds us how far we have come in understanding and utilizing therapeutic methods today.
