When I first found this, I'm thinking... Oh Neato. Its a combo of steampunk and medicine. It happened in real life. A nun holding onto what looked like a shocking device, strange apparatus on the wal land being used on people. I thought it was just a really neat and unusual scene.
Like most images, the whites are rather bright, and that glare behind him was a pain to repair back. But there was enough detail to read the writing on the machine. And I did find a machine that was very close to that one to get the colors on it. I think they cost like $300 in 1900.
I don't know the year however. While i found a date of 1903 in a magazine ad, the range starts at 1905. The machine was made in 1884 I think, but used till 1945-50 if I recall. There is a large knife switch on the wall with exposed lines, so I would guess based on hair style and such, that this is around 1920 maybe?
