EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MENTAL ILLNESS. The moon affecting womens minds" takes us back to the 17th century, offering a detailed glimpse into an intriguing French engraving. The image focuses on the profound connection between the moon and women's mental states, shedding light on a belief prevalent during that era. The full moon, prominently displayed in this artwork, symbolizes not only celestial beauty but also its alleged influence on human behavior. In ancient times, this phenomenon was associated with lunacy or madness - hence the term "lunatic". This particular engraving delves deeper into how women were believed to be particularly susceptible to these lunar effects. The intricate details of the engraving showcase the artist's skillful craftsmanship and attention to accuracy. Each line and curve meticulously etched onto paper tells a story of societal beliefs surrounding mental health in centuries past. It serves as a visual reminder of how our understanding of mental illness has evolved over time. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from The Granger Collection's archives, it prompts reflection on both scientific progress and cultural perceptions throughout history. While today we may view such notions as mere superstition or outdated theories, they offer valuable insight into humanity's quest for knowledge and understanding. This print is not just an exquisite piece of art; it is also a window into our collective past – reminding us that even in our modern world, there are still mysteries waiting to be unraveled beneath the glow of every full moon.
