EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historical significance of Sir Ernest Cassels' generous gift to the King. The image showcases several existing consumption sanatoria, which were pioneering institutions in the early 20th century. These hospitals provided open-air treatment for patients suffering from consumption, also known as tuberculosis. The composition portrays a serene scene with various architectural structures scattered across the landscape. From Liverpool Hospital to Forster Green Hospital in Belfast, and from Mount Vernon Hospital to Victoria Consumption Hospital, these establishments offered sleeping shelters and screen shelters for patients seeking recovery. The photographer skillfully captures the essence of these institutions, highlighting their importance in combating this deadly disease that plagued Europe during that time. The image also includes St Raphael's Home in Torquay, Hampstead in London, Edinburgh in Scotland, and even Northern Ireland. This photograph serves as a visual reminder of Sir Ernest Cassels' philanthropic act and his contribution towards improving public health. It stands as a testament to the progress made in medical architecture and treatment methods during this era. Displayed within private collections today, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on our past achievements while appreciating how far we have come in healthcare advancements.
