EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Hysterical epilepsy, face contraction" is a powerful depiction of the complexities of mental illness in the late 19th century. Taken from Iconographie Photographique de La Salpetriere by Bourneville et P. Regnard in Paris, 1876, this albumen print showcases the work of Paul Regnard. The image portrays a woman suffering from hystero-epilepsy, her face contorted with intense contractions. The composition draws our attention to her head resting on a pillow in a hospital bed, surrounded by austere furnishings. Her gaze is hauntingly captured by the camera lens, revealing both vulnerability and inner turmoil. Regnard's photographic documentation aimed to shed light on cases of hysteria and epilepsy at that time. As an assistant to renowned psychiatrist Jean Martin Charcot, Bourneville played an instrumental role in advancing our understanding of these conditions. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by individuals living with mental illness during this era. It invites us to reflect upon the progress made in neurology and psychiatry since then while acknowledging how far we still have to go. Displayed within its private collection for years before being brought into public view through Fine Art Finder's platform, this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity for introspection and empathy towards those affected by mental health disorders throughout history.
