EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, "An Exposition of Hypnotism" by William Douglas Almond, takes us back to the mesmerizing world of hypnosis in the late 19th century. This intriguing print captures a moment during an exhibition where hypnotism is being demonstrated. In the center of the composition, we see a hypnotized fowl, held under a trance-like state by its mesmerist. Surrounding them are curious onlookers who have gathered to witness this extraordinary display. The artist skillfully depicts various scenes that showcase different aspects of hypnotism - from imaginary toothaches experienced by patients to their bodies becoming rigid in catalepsy. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as spectators observe these astonishing phenomena unfold before their eyes. The sound of a gong attracts attention and adds an air of mystery to the scene. Exhibitors proudly present their skills while visitors marvel at this new form of entertainment and therapy. Almond's detailed engraving allows us to delve into this fascinating world where mentalism and suggestion take center stage. It serves as both an educational tool and a testament to the growing interest in hypnosis during that time. This remarkable lithograph offers us a glimpse into one aspect of human fascination with altered states of consciousness, inviting us to explore further into the depths of our own minds.
