The Woman, Home Doctor - Water as a Curative Means
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the remarkable role of water in healing and wellness. In this collection titled "The Woman, Home Doctor" we witness six different methods of utilizing water for curative purposes. The first image depicts an alution (a form of bathing) being administered to a sick person confined to their bed. The second image showcases an alution by fire, perhaps using warm water or steam for therapeutic benefits. Alternating between a bathtub and rain shower is demonstrated in the third and fourth images respectively, highlighting the versatility of water treatments. Moving on to more unconventional practices, the fifth image captures a shower with a tap tube from a kitchen - an innovative approach that demonstrates resourcefulness during those times. Lastly, we are presented with watering in a small interior space; an intriguing concept suggesting that even indoor environments can benefit from incorporating natural elements like water. Through Leonard de Selva's lens, these chromolithographic prints serve as historical documentation of hygiene practices and health rituals performed by women at home. This artwork not only celebrates their knowledge but also emphasizes the importance of harnessing nature's healing powers. As we admire this photograph today, it serves as a reminder that throughout history people have sought solace and restoration through simple yet profound means such as water – reminding us of our innate connection to nature's remedies.
