EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a haunting moment in medical history. Titled "Hystero Epilepsie - Tetanism attack" the image is part of the renowned "Photographic iconography of the Salpetriere: service of Mr. Charcot" collection by Paul Regnard and Bourneville, dating back to 1875. The scene unfolds at Hopital de la Salpetriere in Paris, France, where Jean Martin Charcot revolutionized our understanding of hysteria and epilepsy. In this particular frame, an unknown artist skillfully freezes time during a tetanic seizure experienced by a young woman. The intensity of the girl's convulsions is palpable as her body contorts with uncontrollable spasms. The photograph serves as both documentation and artistry, capturing not only the physical manifestation but also conveying the emotional turmoil that accompanies such afflictions. Through this historical lens, we gain insight into how mental health was perceived in 19th-century France. It reminds us of the immense progress made in diagnosing and treating these conditions over time. Leonard de Selva's expert reproduction ensures that this significant piece remains accessible for study and appreciation today. As we gaze upon this powerful image, it prompts contemplation about human fragility while simultaneously celebrating advancements in medical knowledge that have brought hope to countless lives affected by similar disorders.
