EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Magnetism" engraving from 1785, created by the English School in the 18th century. Housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this intriguing artwork delves into the world of esoteric practices and alternative therapies. Intricately drawn by Sergent and expertly engraved by Joyug, this image depicts a mesmerizing scene known as "Le baquet de Monsieur Mesmer". The magnetism portrayed here is not only physical but also spiritual, with elements of astrology and occultism intertwined. It captures a session where individuals gather for a seance-like experience to explore their inner selves through magnetic forces. The presence of both male and female figures suggests that this practice was open to all seeking its benefits. Mesmerism was believed to have healing properties, making it an early form of medical therapy rooted in spirituality. This engraving serves as a window into an era when paranormal phenomena were embraced within certain circles. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with the unknown realms beyond conventional medicine. It invites us to ponder how our ancestors sought solace and answers through these mystical practices while reminding us that even today, there is much about health and spirituality that remains unexplained.
