This haunting engraving from 1912 depicts the Horrible suicide of a madman, featured on the cover of "The Eye of the Police". The frenzied scene captures the madness and hysteria of a troubled individual in the early twentieth century. The intricate details in this engraving showcase the skill of the artist in portraying such a tragic moment. Set against a backdrop of a foundry or forge, possibly in France, this image conveys a sense of despair and hopelessness. The figure depicted appears to be in a state of lunacy, with wild eyes and unkempt hair adding to the overall sense of insanity. The engraver has captured every detail with precision, from the tools scattered around to the expression on the man's face as he takes his own life. This piece serves as a stark reminder of how mental illness was viewed and handled during that time period. "The Eye of the Police" was likely an important journal at that time, shedding light on various societal issues including suicide. This print is not only a work of art but also serves as historical documentation reflecting on how society dealt with mental health back then.
