EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cupping, wet and dry, as a therapeutic measure, Africa, 1922" takes us back to the early 20th century on the African continent. The image showcases a scene of healing and medicine in action. In this powerful photograph captured by FW Taylor and featured in the book "Peoples of All Nations" we see a male healer kneeling beside a patient who is sitting with his back exposed. The healer's focused expression reflects his deep knowledge and expertise in traditional African therapeutic practices. The central focus of this image is cupping therapy - an ancient method used for centuries across different cultures to promote health and well-being. Cupping glasses are strategically placed on the patient's back to create suction, believed to stimulate blood flow and alleviate pain or discomfort. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from history. It reminds us of the significance of traditional healing methods that have been passed down through generations on the African continent. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of artistry by FW Taylor, we are transported into an era where science meets tradition; where healers like these played vital roles within their communities. This print serves as both a visual record and homage to the rich cultural heritage embedded within Africa's diverse peoples.
