EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a close-up of the eye of a phrenology bust, shedding light on the intriguing study of phrenology. In the 19th century, phrenology gained popularity as a means to understand an individual's characteristics by examining the shape and contours of their skull. The specific areas marked in black writing were believed to correspond to distinct personality traits. However, today we recognize that phrenology was nothing more than medical charlatanism and quackery, lacking any scientific basis. Despite its historical significance, this practice has been discredited within the fields of psychology and physiology. The image beautifully captures the intricate details and markings on this phrenological model's head. It serves as a reminder of our evolving understanding in medicine and psychological sciences over time. As we gaze into the eye depicted in this still life photograph, we are reminded that once upon a time people sought answers about human nature through these now outdated methods. This thought-provoking image invites us to reflect on how far we have come in our pursuit of knowledge and understanding about ourselves as individuals and society as a whole.
