EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Caterham Imbeciles Asylum in Surrey, England, circa late 19th century. The image shows two charity collectors standing at the gates of the asylum, their outstretched hands holding collection boxes, soliciting donations from passersby. The barren, imposing gates lead to a ward block, its windows barred, providing a glimpse into the lives of the residents within. Established in 1870, Caterham Imbeciles Asylum, like its twin at Leavesden, was created to provide care for London's sick poor with mental conditions such as epilepsy and severe learning difficulties. The asylum's mission was to offer a sanctuary and support for those who were often shunned by society due to their disabilities. The scene portrayed in this photograph is a poignant reminder of the charitable efforts that were essential in providing for the needs of the less fortunate during this era. The collectors, dressed in their Sunday best, represent the compassion and generosity of the community, while the barred windows of the ward block serve as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by those residing within. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insight into the historical context of mental health care and the role that charitable organizations played in supporting those in need. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to come together in times of need, offering solace and support to those who were often forgotten by society.
