EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the esteemed Dr. Chastain Caldwell Forbes, who served as the first superintendent of the Fourth Kentucky Lunatic Asylum near Anchorage, Kentucky in the late 19th century. The photograph was taken by renowned American photographer Mathew Brady between 1865 and 1880. Dr. Forbes is depicted with a distinguished beard and facial hair, reflecting his wisdom and authority in his role as director of this mental hospital. His piercing gaze suggests both compassion and determination, qualities necessary for such a demanding occupation during that era. The image showcases Brady's exceptional talent for capturing character through portraiture. With his expertise in photography, he immortalizes Dr. Forbes' contribution to society within this glass negative print. As we delve into history through this remarkable stereographic card from the Library of Congress collection, we are transported back to a time when mental health care was still evolving. Driven by his passion for helping others, Dr. Forbes dedicated himself to providing compassionate treatment to those suffering from mental illness at a time when understanding and support were limited. This print serves as an important reminder of our progress in caring for individuals with mental health challenges while honoring the pioneering work of figures like Dr. Chastain Caldwell Forbes in shaping modern psychiatric care practices.
