EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration from an unpublished treatise by Jean Etienne Dominique Esquirol, a renowned French psychiatrist. The image depicts the profile of an epileptic woman, drawn with delicate pencil strokes on paper. Created around 1818, this artwork offers a glimpse into the world of lunatics at the Salpetriere asylum in Paris. The woman's profile is hauntingly beautiful yet filled with complexity. Her mouth is open, perhaps symbolizing her struggle with epilepsy or her battle against societal stigmas surrounding mental health. This portrayal highlights the challenges faced by individuals living with psychiatric disorders during that era. Esquirol's work was groundbreaking for its time as he played a significant role in advancing our understanding of mental illness and advocating for improved care for patients. His treatise sheds light on various aspects of alienation and madness within these institutions. Through this photo print, we are reminded of the importance of compassion and empathy towards those who experience neurological abnormalities or mental illnesses. It serves as a poignant reminder that even though times have changed since this drawing was made, there is still much progress to be made in destigmatizing and providing adequate support for individuals facing similar challenges today.
