EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the history of Manisa, Turkey, a city located on the banks of the Meander River, which gives its name to the winding pattern of a river. In the image, we see a group of inmates from Hadji-Hassan's famous lunatic asylum, situated in Manisa during the late 19th or early 20th century. The asylum, which was renowned for its humane treatment of the mentally ill, was a significant historical institution in the region. The inmates, dressed in simple clothing, are seen gathered near the riverbank, their expressions a mix of melancholy, curiosity, and perhaps even a glimmer of hope. The serene setting of the river adds a sense of tranquility to the scene, contrasting with the stigma often associated with mental illness and asylums during this time. Hadji-Hassan's asylum was known for its progressive approach to treating the mentally ill, with a focus on providing a comfortable and therapeutic environment. The asylum's founder, Hadji-Hassan, was a respected figure in the community, and his institution became a model for other mental health facilities in the region and beyond. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the history of mental health care and the compassionate approach taken by institutions like Hadji-Hassan's asylum in Manisa. The Meander River, which has given its name to the English word 'meander,' continues to flow gently by, a symbol of the ebb and flow of life and the enduring resilience of the human spirit.
