Curious Carvings by James Henry Pullen at Earlswood Asylum: A Testament to the Unseen Genius of a Madman In the quiet confines of Earlswood Asylum, nestled within the rolling hills of Surrey, England, lived an extraordinary man named James Henry Pullen. Born in 1832, Pullen was a 70-year-old inmate, but unlike his fellow patients, he possessed a unique and unparalleled genius for model-making. Pullen's creations were not the mundane handicrafts commonly associated with asylum inmates. Instead, they were intricately carved masterpieces, crafted with a precision and artistry that belied his supposed madness. His preferred medium was ivory, and he was known to have received tusks from King Edward VII himself, who was intrigued by Pullen's talent and occasionally sent them as gifts. The photograph captures a glimpse into Pullen's world, revealing his curious carvings that adorned the walls of his cell. The intricate designs, which range from ships to animals, are a testament to his remarkable skill and dedication. The image also reveals a man who took pride in his work, with a focused expression that betrays no signs of insanity. Despite his genius, Pullen was still considered a madman by many. He spent most of his life in institutions, and his creations were often dismissed as mere curiosities rather than the works of art they truly were. However, this photograph serves as a reminder that even in the most unexpected places, one can find extraordinary talent and creativity. The Curious Carvings by James Henry Pullen at Earlswood Asylum are a fascinating glimpse into the life of a man who defied the labels society placed upon him and created a world of beauty and wonder within the confines of an asylum.
