EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and hauntingly beautiful figures that adorn the gateway of Bethlehem Hospital. Engraved by A. Birrell for Lambert's History of London in 1805, this image captures the essence of Georgian-era mental health institutions. Crafted from Portland stone by Caius Gabriel Cibber, these sculptures symbolize the contrasting states of Raving Madness and Melancholy. Standing tall on either side of the entrance, they serve as a reminder of the struggles faced by those afflicted with mental illness during that time. The attention to detail in these carvings is remarkable, capturing both the physical and emotional turmoil experienced by individuals within Bedlam, as Bethlehem Hospital was commonly known. The contorted expressions on their faces evoke a sense of despair and anguish, while also reflecting society's limited understanding and treatment options for psychiatric conditions at that time. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come in our understanding and approach to mental health. It prompts us to reflect on the progress made in providing compassionate care for those suffering from insanity or other forms of mental illness. This print not only captures an exquisite piece of art but also invites contemplation about our collective responsibility towards supporting individuals facing mental health challenges throughout history and into modern times.
