EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed engraving of the Map of Cripplegate Ward, London from the 18th century. The image captures the essence of this historic ward in the City of London, providing a glimpse into its architecture and geography. The map not only serves as a visual representation but also sheds light on the healthcare and medical services available during that era. The focal point of this engraving is St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics, an asylum situated within Cripplegate Ward. This prominent building symbolizes the dedication to mental health care at that time. Additionally, it highlights the influence and exchange between England and Germany in terms of medical science and practices. The inclusion of German references such as Asklepios (the Greek god associated with healing) suggests a strong connection between these two countries in matters related to physical health. It emphasizes how knowledge was shared across borders to improve medical services. As we delve into this intriguing piece, we are reminded of London's rich history as well as its role in advancing healthcare during this period.
