EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a poignant moment at the Leysin Sanatorium in Switzerland. The scene depicts a patient arriving on the funicular train from Lausanne, greeted by fellow patients and staff members. Created by Henri Lanos in 1902, this illustration was featured in The Graphic magazine. The image showcases the "Open-Air Cure for Consumption" a popular treatment for tuberculosis during that time period. Patients would travel to sanatoriums like Leysin to benefit from the fresh mountain air and serene surroundings. In this particular print, we see snow-covered landscapes surrounding the sanatorium, emphasizing its idyllic location. The meeting between patients upon arrival highlights the sense of community and support within these institutions. As the patient steps off the train, he is met with warm smiles and outstretched hands, symbolizing hope and camaraderie amidst their shared struggle against consumption. Lanos's attention to detail is evident in his intricate engraving technique which brings life to each figure present in this scene. From their facial expressions to their winter attire, every element contributes to an authentic representation of early 20th-century Swiss society. This historic artwork not only serves as a visual record of medical practices but also offers us insight into societal attitudes towards illness during that era. It reminds us of how far we have come in our understanding and treatment of diseases like tuberculosis while showcasing humanity's resilience even in challenging times.
