EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Hysterical epilepsy, attack, epileptoid phase" is a powerful illustration from the renowned work "Iconographie Photographique de La Salpetriere" by Bourneville et P. Regnard. Taken in Paris in 1876, this albumen print measures 9.3x6 cm and belongs to a private collection. The image depicts a moment of intense turmoil during an epileptic episode, showcasing the raw emotions and physical manifestations associated with hysteria. The oval frame adds an intriguing touch to the composition, drawing our attention to the subject's distressing state. Desire Magloire Bourneville and Paul Regnard collaborated on this groundbreaking project that aimed to document various mental illnesses through photography. As assistants of Jean Martin Charcot at Salpetriere Hospital, they meticulously captured case histories of patients suffering from neurological disorders like epilepsy. Intriguingly haunting yet deeply informative, this photograph sheds light on the complexities surrounding mental health during the late 19th century. It serves as a testament to both medical advancements made over time and society's evolving understanding of psychiatric conditions. As we gaze upon this historic image today, it reminds us not only of how far we have come in terms of diagnosis and treatment but also prompts us to continue striving for empathy and compassion towards those affected by mental illness.
