EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a proud dressmaker, as depicted in an unpublished treatise by Jean Etienne Dominique Esquirol. Created around 1818, this pencil illustration showcases the front view of a woman who resided in the infamous Salpetriere asylum in Paris. The dressmaker's gaze is both intense and enigmatic, drawing us into her world of madness and neurological abnormalities. Her portrait exudes strength despite her mental illness, challenging societal perceptions of what it means to be "mad". A single lock of hair delicately falls across her forehead, adding a touch of vulnerability to her otherwise defiant expression. As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded of the struggles faced by those deemed mentally handicapped during that era. The artist's attention to detail highlights not only the physical appearance but also hints at the inner turmoil experienced by this courageous woman. Through this photograph, we are invited to reflect on mental health issues and their historical context. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst adversity and confinement within an asylum, individuals can still find moments where they proudly assert their identity. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from history for us all to contemplate upon – reminding us that behind every face lies a story waiting to be heard.
