EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Parkside Lunatic Asylum in Adelaide, South Australia, in the year 1901. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their lens has immortalized a significant piece of Australian history. Originally founded as Glenside Hospital in 1846, this psychiatric institution played a crucial role in providing mental healthcare during colonial times. The photograph showcases the imposing architecture of the asylum's exterior, revealing its grandeur and scale. The building stands proudly against the backdrop of a serene day, with an inviting driveway leading to its entrance. This view offers us a glimpse into what life was like within these walls over a century ago. As we contemplate this image, it is impossible not to reflect on the significance of mental health care throughout history. The Parkside Lunatic Asylum served as both sanctuary and confinement for those deemed mentally ill at that time. It reminds us how far society has come in understanding and treating mental health conditions. Today, Glenside Hospital continues to operate under different names and functions as part of South Australia's modern healthcare system. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our collective journey towards compassion and progress in addressing mental health challenges.
