EDITORS COMMENTS

Taken in 1901 by the French School, this image was originally featured in Le Petit Journal, Paris. The photograph depicts a scene of hope and progress as Crotte employs innovative techniques to combat the devastating disease. Tuberculosis, also known as consumption, was rampant during this time period and claimed countless lives. However, Crotte's pioneering approach offers a glimmer of optimism amidst the darkness. The use of electricity in medical treatments was still relatively new at the turn of the 20th century. It represented an exciting frontier for doctors seeking alternative methods to heal their patients. In this particular case, Crotte is seen administering electrical currents to his patient with meticulous care and precision. The composition exudes an air of professionalism and dedication on behalf of both doctor and patient. The intensity on their faces reveals their shared determination to overcome this debilitating illness. This powerful image serves as a testament to human resilience and our relentless pursuit of medical advancements. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from over a century ago, we are reminded not only of the challenges faced by those afflicted with tuberculosis but also of the remarkable strides made in medicine since then. It stands as a reminder that even in times when hope seems dimmed by illness, there are always individuals like Francisque Crotte who strive tirelessly for healing breakthroughs.
