Bartholomew Barts Bench Benches Courtyard Fountain Health Hospitals Nurse Nurses Patients Resting Shelter
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tranquility of St Bartholomew's Hospital courtyard in London during the 1910s. The image showcases the beautiful outdoor space that provided much-needed respite for patients, who could be seen resting on the benches, soaking up the sun, and enjoying the refreshing breeze. The courtyard, adorned with lush trees and vibrant flowers, offered a welcome contrast to the hustle and bustle of the hospital wards. The presence of nurses in the scene underscores the importance of the healing environment that St Bartholomew's Hospital aimed to provide. The serene atmosphere of the courtyard was believed to contribute to the overall wellbeing of patients, allowing them to recover more effectively. The fountain in the center of the courtyard adds an element of calm and rejuvenation. The sound of water trickling from the fountain likely brought a sense of peace and relaxation to those who gathered around it. The open-air setting of the courtyard also allowed for ample natural light, which was essential for the health and healing of patients. St Bartholomew's Hospital, founded in 1123, is one of the oldest and most renowned hospitals in England. Its commitment to providing high-quality healthcare and a nurturing environment for patients has endured for over 800 years. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of green spaces and fresh air in the healing process, as well as the dedication of healthcare professionals in creating a comforting environment for those in need.
