EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Hypnosis: introvision (power of looking into a body), 1889" offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of mesmerism and hypnotism in the 19th century. The print showcases an enthralling demonstration where the power of introvision is being explored. In this scene, we see a male patient seated on the right side, eagerly participating in this mesmerizing experience. On his left stands an assistant who assists with the process while also observing closely. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as they delve into the depths of supersensuous perception. The image highlights the significance of introvision - a practical and valuable aspect of hypnosis that allows one to peer inside another person's body using only their mind's eye. This extraordinary ability to look beyond what meets the naked eye was considered groundbreaking during that time period. William Davey, renowned for his expertise in mesmerism, brings this moment to life through his skilled artistry. Through meticulous details and shading techniques, he captures not only the physicality but also conveys the intensity and focus present within each participant. As we gaze upon this remarkable lithograph from 1889, we are transported back to an era where scientific exploration met mysticism. It serves as a testament to humanity's eternal fascination with unlocking hidden potentials within ourselves and understanding our own bodies at a deeper level.
