EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing engraving titled "The Dance of St. Guy". Depicting a procession of epileptics on their annual pilgrimage to the church of Molenbeeck-Saint Jacques in Luxembourg, this caricature offers a unique glimpse into the history of medicine and disorder. The event pays homage to St. Willibrord, who is renowned for miraculously saving an entire town from a peculiar outbreak known as dancing mania. In this lithograph from C. Aubrys Album comique de pathologie pittoresque, we witness the pilgrims moving rhythmically to music specially composed for this extraordinary occasion. The image not only sheds light on the religious significance attached to epilepsy but also highlights how communities throughout history have sought solace and healing through faith. Beyond its artistic value, this historical image serves as a reminder of the long-standing efforts made by medical professionals and society at large to understand and address various conditions affecting human health. By capturing such moments in time, Science Photo Library invites us to reflect on our progress in healthcare while appreciating the rich tapestry of our collective past.
