EDITORS COMMENTS
This mesmerizing engraving captures the intense and mysterious world of Mesmerism, a practice popularized by Franz Anton Mesmer in the 18th century. The women depicted are in the midst of a magnetic crisis, visibly losing control after a baquet session with Mesmer himself. Their expressions convey a mix of ecstasy and vulnerability, as they surrender to the power of this enigmatic healing technique. Mesmerism was believed to harness unseen forces to induce trance-like states and alleviate various ailments. This image from "Les mysteres de la Science" by Louis Figuier offers a glimpse into the esoteric realm of occult science and esoterism, where practitioners like Mesmer held sway over their followers with promises of healing and enlightenment. The swirling energy depicted in this engraving hints at the intensity of the experience these women are undergoing, as they grapple with forces beyond their understanding. The intricate details and dramatic composition draw viewers into a world where belief in unseen powers could lead to profound transformations. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of the enduring allure of mysteries that lie beyond our comprehension. Mesmerism may have fallen out of favor in modern times, but its legacy lives on in images like this one that continue to fascinate and intrigue us centuries later.
