EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Phrenology (litho)" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the intriguing world of medicine and healing practices of that era. The lithograph, created by an unknown European artist, is part of a private collection and showcases phrenology - a pseudoscience popular during that time. The image was originally used as an illustration for Bilz's book, "The Natural Method of Healing" published around 1888. Phrenology was believed to be a method for understanding an individual's character and mental faculties by examining the shape and size of their skull. This representation highlights both the moral and intellectual aspects associated with this practice. Intriguingly, this artwork also sheds light on the historical context surrounding health treatments in the late 19th century. It transports us to Bilz Sanatorium in Dresden Radebeul, where individuals sought various forms of healing such as bonesetting or spa therapies. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of how far medical knowledge has progressed but also how our understanding of health has evolved over time. It serves as a fascinating reminder that history continues to shape our present-day practices in medicine and wellness.
