For the Patients - A Glimpse into Victorian Hospital Visits
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving, titled "For the Patients" offers a fascinating snapshot of a visiting day outside University College Hospital in London. Created by Charles J. Staniland in 1890, this print showcases flower girls adorned with vibrant bouquets, adding a touch of beauty to an otherwise somber scene. The image transports us back to an era when hospitals were not only places of healing but also social hubs where patients received visitors and well-wishers. Men and women from all walks of life can be seen strolling along the bustling streets, their attention captured by these young street traders selling their fragrant blooms. Children playfully dart through the crowd, their innocence contrasting against the backdrop of illness and suffering that lies within those hospital walls. The hand-coloured details evoke a sense of nostalgia for Victorian times when such engravings were cherished as treasured keepsakes. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into British culture during this period - its resilience and determination to bring joy even amidst adversity. It serves as a reminder that compassion knows no boundaries; it transcends time and place. As we admire this enchanting piece from Bernard Platman's Antiquarian Collection, let us reflect on how far medical care has come since then while cherishing the enduring human spirit depicted in this timeless print.
