Mesmerism in India : and its practical application in surgery and medicine / by James Esdaile.
Mesmerism in India, and its practical application in surgery and medicine, is a mid-nineteenth-century medical treatise by the Scottish surgeon James Esdaile, published in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1847 for physicians and students. Its single picture is a loose, smudged sketch of a figure in a rigid, forward-leaning pose against a pale architectural background, showing a quick, expressive charcoal-like line a designer could borrow for gesture studies.
