EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Dr Tanner, as he appeared in the Second Week of his attempted Fast of Forty Days" offers a glimpse into a remarkable feat of endurance and determination. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Dr Tanner's physical appearance during his extraordinary fasting endeavor. Intriguingly, Dr Tanner was an American physician named Henry S. Tanner who resided in New York City. The image captures him during the second week of his ambitious attempt to fast for forty consecutive days, a feat that garnered significant attention at the time. Depicted with a stoic expression on his face, Dr Tanner's gaunt figure reveals the toll that such extreme self-discipline has taken on his body. His sunken cheeks and hollow eyes are testament to both the physical challenges and mental fortitude required to endure such an arduous undertaking. This engraving originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on August 7th, 1880. It serves as a visual documentation of this incredible event that captivated people's imaginations across continents. Through this powerful image, we are reminded of humanity's capacity for resilience and our fascination with pushing boundaries. Dr Tanner's unwavering commitment to testing his limits invites us to reflect upon our own potential for personal growth and achievement.
