Crutches Patient Patients Sick Thomas Social History
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of the Garden of St. Thomass Hospital in Southwark, London. Painted by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd, this watercolor on paper artwork showcases a slice of history from the 17th and 18th centuries. The hospital itself was rebuilt between 1693 and 1709 with generous contributions from Sir Robert Clayton, who served as Lord Mayor of London in 1679. In this scene, we catch a glimpse into daily life within the hospital grounds. Both male and female patients can be seen enjoying moments of respite amidst nature's embrace. Some lean on crutches while others rest peacefully under shady trees or stroll along winding paths. The image not only offers an insight into medical practices during that era but also provides a window into social history. It reminds us that even in times when medicine was limited, hospitals like St. Thomass played an essential role in caring for those who were sick or injured. Although the original hospital has since moved to Lambeth, this photograph allows us to appreciate its historical significance and architectural grandeur that once stood proudly in Southwark. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection and is now available for all to admire thanks to Fine Art Finder and www. bridgemanart. com
