EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 19th century, where scientific experimentation with electricity on the human body was at its peak. From "The Cyclopaedia or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and Literature" by Abraham Rees, published in London in 1820, this illustration captures a momentous moment in history. Intriguingly, the image showcases an individual undergoing an electric shock treatment as part of a groundbreaking experiment. The muscles of their body are visibly contracting due to the electric current flowing through them. This visual representation offers a glimpse into the pioneering advancements made during this era. During the industrial revolution, science and technology were rapidly evolving, leading to remarkable discoveries that shaped our understanding of electricity and its effects on the human body. This particular experiment highlights both curiosity and bravery as scientists delved into uncharted territories for knowledge. "The Cyclopaedia or Universal Dictionary" served as an invaluable resource for scholars seeking comprehensive information across various disciplines. Its publication played a significant role in disseminating scientific knowledge during that time. As we reflect upon this historical photograph print by Ken Welsh from Design Pics, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding of electricity and its applications within medicine and beyond.
