EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1813, capturing the grandeur of the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb in Old Kent Road, Southwark, London. The image showcases a significant moment in history when society began recognizing and addressing disabilities such as deafness. The engraving depicts an impressive building standing tall along a serene avenue. This asylum served as a beacon of hope for those with hearing impairments, providing them with much-needed care and support. Its location in bustling London symbolizes the progressiveness of British society during this time. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. It transports us to a bygone era where healthcare was limited but evolving rapidly. The anonymity surrounding its creation only enhances our curiosity about who captured this remarkable scene. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of understanding and supporting individuals with disabilities.
