EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the Victorian era in Glasgow, Scotland. The image showcases Glasgow Infirmary, a historic medical institution that has served the community since its establishment in 1793. During the Victorian period, Glasgow Infirmary underwent significant expansion and modernization, reflecting the advancements in medical care and technology of the time. The photograph captures the grandeur and sophistication of the Edwardian-era infirmary, with its red sandstone facade adorned with intricate carvings and its tall, arched windows. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a lantern slide projector, a popular educational tool during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The lantern slide, with its glass plate coated in a photographic emulsion, adds an extra layer of vintage charm to the image. It is likely that this photograph was used as a teaching aid, providing students with a visual representation of the infirmary and its impressive architecture. The image also offers a glimpse into the early days of medical care in Scotland, showcasing the dedication and innovation of the medical professionals who worked at Glasgow Infirmary during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. The photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of this iconic institution, which continues to provide essential healthcare services to the people of Glasgow and beyond.
