EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Electrotherapy of the Salpetriere" takes us back to the year 1887, offering a glimpse into a significant moment in medical history. The image showcases an interior scene at the renowned Salpetriere asylum in Paris, where pioneering electrotherapy treatments were being conducted. In this striking depiction, we witness female patients undergoing electric baths and localized electrification under the watchful eyes of doctors and neurologists. The atmosphere is one of scientific inquiry as these medical professionals delve into groundbreaking research on neurological disorders and psychological illnesses. The engraving highlights both the technological advancements of its time and the controversial nature of such treatments. It sheds light on how electricity was harnessed as a therapeutic tool for various ailments, particularly hysteria—a condition that was poorly understood during that era. While some may view these practices as brutal or shocking by today's standards, it is important to remember that they were carried out with genuine intentions to alleviate suffering and advance medical knowledge. This artwork serves as a reminder of our evolving understanding of mental health throughout history. As we gaze upon this piece from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are transported to an era known as belle epoque—the beautiful age—where science intersected with medicine in pursuit of healing those afflicted by illness and disorder.
