Inspector Rosenhan Visits The Asylum - Ragged University
#historicalromance Beautiful and terrible: asylum patient by Hugh Welch Diamond, doctor and photographer. Taken during his time at Surrey County Lunatic Asylum. Albumen silver print from glass, about 1855. From the article “Images of Ecstasy and Affliction” by Michaela Schäuble: “The portraits were meant to illustrate illnesses, not ill women – all of whom were impoverished inmates of an asylum in southern England. The pictures made them objects of the scientific gaze.”
