Development of Mesmeric Science, 1883
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that delves into the intriguing world of mesmerism and animal magnetism. Created by artist George du Maurier, this black and white cartoon from Punch magazine satirically depicts a peculiar duel between two prominent figures in the field: Chevalier Lenoir from Paris and Professor Schwartz from Berlin. Set in the scenic Bois de Boulogne, this unconventional duel offers a new and bloodless way of settling disputes. The men are seen seated on stools, surrounded by curious onlookers who have gathered to witness this bizarre spectacle. As they engage in their mesmeric therapy, it becomes evident that mesmerism holds an air of mystery and fascination for both France and Germany during the 19th century. The cartoon captures the essence of this unique form of therapy with its monochrome aesthetic. It portrays Franz Mesmer himself as one of the central characters, emphasizing his significant role in popularizing mesmerism throughout Europe. Through George du Maurier's skillful engraving technique, he brings to life an era where concepts like magnetism were explored with great enthusiasm. This historical print serves as a window into a time when scientific exploration took unexpected turns. It invites us to ponder upon the strange practices that once captivated society's attention while reminding us how far we have come in our understanding of human behavior and therapy techniques today.
