1750 Asylums Bethlehem Insane Insanity
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online transports us back to the year 1750, where we catch a glimpse of Bethlehem Hospital, also known as Bedlam. This historical hospital was infamous for being an asylum for the insane during a time when mental health treatment was vastly different from what it is today.
The image captures the essence of this institution with its imposing architecture and somber atmosphere. It serves as a stark reminder of how society once viewed and treated those suffering from mental illness, often isolating them in institutions like Bedlam.
As we reflect on this piece of history, we are reminded of the progress that has been made in the field of mental health care. The evolution of medical practices and our understanding of mental illnesses have come a long way since the days when Bedlam was in operation.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of our past and how far we have come in terms of caring for individuals struggling with their mental health. It is a testament to the importance of compassion, empathy, and proper treatment for all members of society, regardless of their struggles or challenges.
