EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of a lake nestled within the grounds of the Concord Hospital in Concord, New Hampshire, between 1900 and 1910. The exact creator of this image remains unknown, but it is believed to have been taken during the early 20th century. The hospital, also known as the New Hampshire Hospital for the Insane or the Concord State Hospital, was established in 1871 and was one of the first large-scale psychiatric hospitals in the United States. The photograph presents a picturesque scene of the lake's tranquil waters reflecting the surrounding trees and plants, with the hospital buildings subtly visible in the background. The image is particularly noteworthy for its use of dry plate glass negative technique, which was a popular photographic process during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Despite the peaceful appearance of the scene, it is important to remember that the Concord Hospital was a place of confinement for individuals with mental health conditions during this time period. The hospital's grounds and buildings were designed to provide a therapeutic environment, with a focus on agriculture, horticulture, and industry. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective on the intersection of nature, architecture, and mental health care in America during the early 20th century. The image is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and enduring appeal.
