EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the eerie presence of Catherine-de-Barnes Isolation Hospital, a place that once stood as a stalwart defender against the deadly smallpox virus. The hospital remained on constant stand-by, ready to confront this infectious disease head-on. However, its last patients were admitted in 1978 during the smallpox outbreak at Birmingham University. The image showcases a weathered "Smallpox Keep Out" sign prominently displayed on the fence surrounding the hospital grounds. This warning serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers that lurked within those walls and emphasizes the gravity of this highly contagious illness. Taken on August 3rd, 1983, in Catherine-de-Barnes, Solihull, this photograph transports us back to an era when diseases and viruses posed significant threats to public health. It evokes feelings of both fascination and trepidation as we contemplate what went on behind those closed doors. Robert May's composition not only captures our attention but also sparks curiosity about medical practices from decades past. It reminds us of how far we have come in terms of healthcare advancements while serving as a testament to the bravery and dedication exhibited by healthcare workers who risked their lives for others' well-being. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to feel a sense of reverence for those who fought tirelessly against such formidable foes within these now-abandoned walls.
