This print titled "Accidents caracteristiques de l intoxication lente par le mercure" showcases the artistic brilliance of the 19th-century French School. The image, part of a private collection, is a colour lithograph that vividly depicts the characteristic accidents resulting from slow mercury poisoning. Originally created as an illustration for J Rengade's book "Les Grands Maux et Les Grands Remedes" published by Librairies Illustree around 1890, this artwork offers a glimpse into the world of medicine and disease during that era. It serves as a visual representation of various illnesses caused by mercury poisoning and highlights the importance of understanding such ailments. The composition skillfully portrays human suffering due to long-term exposure to mercury. Through intricate details and vibrant colors, it conveys both the physical and psychological effects inflicted upon those afflicted. This thought-provoking piece invites viewers to contemplate not only the dangers posed by toxic substances but also the remedies available at that time.
