EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Le baquet de Mesmer" takes us back to the 19th century, a time of scientific progress and invention. The artwork, created by an unknown European School artist, is now part of a private collection. The image depicts an intriguing scene from the popularization of science during that era. It was originally featured in Louis Figuier's book "Les Merveilles De La Science ou Description Populaire des Inventions Modernes" published around 1870. This publication aimed to bring knowledge about modern inventions and engineering marvels to a wider audience. In this particular illustration, we witness the mesmerizing power of Mesmer's tub (le baquet de Mesmer). The historical significance lies in its connection to anesthesia and sleep induction using ether. As we delve into history, it becomes evident that this discovery played a pivotal role in medical advancements during the industrial revolution. The engraving not only captures the essence of scientific exploration but also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding of medicine and human physiology.
