EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Hysteria, mental and nervous disorder, arising from intense anxiety" takes us back to the year 1887. Created by an anonymous French artist from the 19th century, this powerful image is part of a private collection. The artwork depicts a scene that delves into the depths of human emotion and psychological turmoil. It portrays a woman in distress, her body contorted with anguish as she grapples with intense anxiety. The artist skillfully captures the essence of hysteria - a mental disorder characterized by overwhelming emotions and uncontrollable reactions. Intriguingly, this engraving originally appeared in Dr. Gerard's renowned magazine "Medecine illustre". It serves as both a visual representation and an educational tool for understanding the complexities of mental health during that era. The historical context adds depth to our interpretation; it sheds light on society's perception of madness at that time. This piece invites contemplation about how individuals were perceived when grappling with their own inner demons. Jaime Abecasis has beautifully captured this poignant moment through his lens, preserving its significance for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this print today, it reminds us not only of the struggles faced by those afflicted but also highlights how far we have come in our understanding and treatment of mental health issues. Through art like this engraving, we are reminded to approach these topics with empathy and compassion while acknowledging the progress made towards destigmatizing mental illness in modern times.
