EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bottle that once contained anti-hysteria water, produced by the prestigious Fonderia di Sua Altezza Reale, Officina Profumo, Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella in Florence. Dating back to the period between 1850 and 1920, this glass bottle is a fascinating relic from Italy's rich history of medicine and healing practices. The label on the bottle hints at its purpose - to cure hysteria, a condition often associated with mental health issues. While today we understand hysteria differently, during the 19th century it was believed to be caused by an imbalance of bodily fluids. This pseudoscientific belief led to various remedies being developed, including this anti-hysteria water. The bottle itself exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. Its elegant design reflects the craftsmanship of Italian artisans from that era. The Fonderia di Sua Altezza Reale was renowned for its perfumery and pharmaceutical products, making this artifact even more significant. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness how people sought healing and relief in an age when mental illness was not fully understood or properly treated. It serves as a reminder of our progress in medical science while also honoring the ingenuity and dedication of those who came before us. This image captures not only a piece of Italian history but also highlights humanity's eternal quest for wellness and understanding in all aspects of life.
