EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Electricity in Therapeutics" takes us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of medical treatments using electric currents. The image showcases an array of intricate apparatuses used for electrical therapy, highlighting the significant role electricity played in healthcare during that time. In this historical snapshot, we see a local electric light bath being administered to a patient at London Hospital. A Finsen lamp emits its therapeutic rays while various high-tension transformers, resistances, ammeters, switches, and spark gaps are meticulously arranged around it. Leyden jars stand tall as they store electrical energy while shielding devices protect against harmful rays. The photograph not only captures the technological advancements of the era but also reflects society's growing interest in harnessing electricity for healing purposes. This visual documentation was originally created as an illustration for The Harmsworth Encyclopaedia in 1922 - a testament to its educational value and contribution to knowledge dissemination. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from a private collection now made accessible through Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how far medical science has progressed since then. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' relentless pursuit of innovation and their unwavering belief in the power of electricity to improve human well-being.
