A New Kind Battle
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a chaotic scene within the walls of an asylum in Nottingham, England. This colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame depicts a fierce struggle between striking nurses and the police who sought to occupy the premises. The image showcases the unexpected alliance formed between these courageous women and the madmen they cared for, as they defiantly stand their ground against authority. The composition is filled with elements that symbolize both violence and resistance. Nurses armed with brooms confront policemen, while patients join in the fight using whatever means available to them. The door stands as a barrier separating two opposing forces, representing the struggle for control over this space of confinement. Beltrame's illustration was originally published in Courier Sunday on 30 April-7 May 1922, shedding light on a significant event that took place during that time. This powerful artwork not only highlights the physical battle taking place but also raises questions about power dynamics within institutions meant to provide care. Through this print, we are reminded of how individuals can unite against oppression even under challenging circumstances. It serves as a testament to human resilience and solidarity amidst madness and chaos. "A New Kind Battle" invites us to reflect on themes of rebellion, mental health advocacy, and social justice - issues that continue to resonate today.
