EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Open-Air Cure for Consumption at Leysin, the Balcony of the Womens Quarters" transports us to a bygone era where innovative treatments were sought for the debilitating disease of consumption. Created by Henri Lanos in 1902, this print offers a glimpse into an unconventional method employed at Leysin, Switzerland. Intriguingly, we find ourselves on a balcony overlooking the women's quarters of this unique establishment. The scene is adorned with fur-clad patients reclining on comfortable chairs while basking in the crisp mountain air. The enchanting Swiss landscape serves as both backdrop and therapy for these individuals battling against consumption. Lanos' meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness not only the serene beauty surrounding them but also the architectural elegance of their surroundings. From intricately designed balconies to ornate interiors, every element adds depth and charm to this lithograph. "The Open-Air Cure" was considered groundbreaking during its time as it challenged traditional medical practices and embraced nature's healing powers. This engraving captures that spirit perfectly – showcasing how open-air treatment became an integral part of combating consumption in Europe. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of health and well-being throughout history. It serves as a testament to our resilience and determination in finding new ways to combat diseases that have plagued societies for centuries.
