EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The West-End Hospital for Paralysis and Epilepsy, Welbeck-Street" takes us back to the late 19th century. The image showcases a scene filled with hope and compassion within the walls of this renowned medical institution. In the foreground, we see a paralysed young girl named Daisy Biggs, who is receiving treatment through an innovative method known as galvanism.

Next to her stands an epileptic boy, both representing the diverse range of conditions treated at this hospital. The bustling atmosphere reveals that this place was not just a center for medical care but also provided entertainment for its young patients. Children can be seen engaged in various activities, bringing smiles to their faces amidst their challenging circumstances.
