EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, created by Armand Gautier in 1857, offers a glimpse into the courtyard of L'Hospice de la Salpetriere, a psychiatric hospital located in Paris, France. The scene depicts mentally ill patients amidst the tranquil surroundings of the hospital's exterior. In this poignant image, we witness both men and women who have been deemed mentally ill during that era. They are seen wandering through the courtyard, each carrying their own burdens and stories within them. The artist's attention to detail allows us to observe their expressions and body language - some appear lost in their thoughts while others seem withdrawn from the world around them. L'Hospice de la Salpetriere was known for its progressive approach towards mental health treatment at that time. This lithograph serves as a historical document shedding light on how society perceived and cared for those suffering from mental illness during the mid-19th century. Armand Gautier's lithograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites contemplation about compassion and understanding towards individuals struggling with mental health issues throughout history. It reminds us of the importance of empathy and support for those facing such challenges today. This print is part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection which aims to preserve significant moments from our past through artistry and storytelling without commercial intent or use.
