EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to 18th century London, showcasing the impressive architecture of the New Bedlam Hospital in Moorfields. The image transports us to a time when mental health care was still in its infancy, and this institution played a significant role in providing treatment for those suffering from psychiatric disorders. The grandeur of the hospital is evident as we observe its imposing structure set amidst lush gardens and fields. The meticulous attention to detail in this print allows us to appreciate the intricate design elements that were incorporated into the building's façade. As we delve deeper into the image, we can't help but ponder on the stories that lie within these walls. This place must have been both a sanctuary and an enigma, offering hope for some while eliciting fear or curiosity from others. The historical significance of this engraving cannot be overstated; it serves as a reminder of how far our understanding and approach towards mental health has evolved over time. It prompts reflection on society's changing attitudes towards individuals who once found themselves confined within these very walls. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation of this artwork, we are granted access to a visual portal into history – one that invites contemplation about progress made and challenges yet faced in caring for those with mental health conditions.
