EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Hypnosis, 1889" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of mesmerism in the 19th century. The image captures a demonstration of hypnotism, with a male patient seated at the top and bottom of the print. Intriguingly, this artwork showcases both sides of the hypnotic experience - from placing the patient under its influence to releasing him from its grasp. The skilled hypnotist can be seen exerting his power over the subject as he delves into their subconscious mind. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this scene from history. It transports us back to a time when hypnosis was still shrouded in enigma and considered cutting-edge science. Created by William Davey for his book "The Illustrated Practical Mesmerist" published in London in 1889, this print is not just an artistic representation but also serves as documentation of scientific exploration during that era. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, we are reminded of how far our understanding has come since then. Yet it also sparks curiosity about what these individuals experienced under hypnosis and how it shaped their perception of reality. Preserved by Oxford Science Archive and collected by Print Collector1, this historical artifact invites us to ponder on the mysteries that lie within our own minds while appreciating the artistry behind capturing such moments in time.
