EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1901, showcasing the Gladesville Asylum for the Insane in New South Wales, Australia. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their work has immortalized a significant piece of history. Established in 1838, Gladesville Mental Hospital served as a psychiatric institution until its official closure in 1993. This architectural marvel stood as a symbol of mental health care during colonial times and witnessed the transformation of Australia into a federated nation. The photo captures the asylum's exterior on a sunny day, revealing its expansive grounds beautifully landscaped with an array of trees and plants. In this serene vista, one can spot an unexpected visitor - a kangaroo gracefully hopping across the landscape. This marsupial presence adds an intriguing touch to the scene, reminding us that nature played its part even within these walls. As we delve into this snapshot from Federated Australia's past, we are reminded not only of our country's rich heritage but also of society's evolving approach towards mental health over time. It serves as a poignant reminder that places like Gladesville Asylum were once at the forefront of healthcare efforts for those struggling with mental illness. Through this powerful image captured by an unknown artist more than a century ago, we gain insight into both our collective history and our ongoing journey towards understanding and supporting mental well-being.
