EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: St Marylebone Workhouse Infirmary, Rackham Street, London (1881) This evocative photograph captures the St Marylebone Workhouse Infirmary, situated on Rackham Street in London, as it appeared in 1881. Designed by the renowned architect Henry Saxon Snell, this imposing building was a vital part of the English social welfare system during the Victorian era. The St Marylebone Workhouse, established in 1732, was one of the many institutions designed to provide shelter, food, and care for the city's destitute and impoverished population. The infirmary, an extension of the workhouse, was specifically dedicated to the care of the sick and infirm residents. The photograph reveals the grandeur and scale of the infirmary, with its symmetrical layout, tall arched windows, and intricate architectural details. The building's design reflects the Victorian era's belief in the importance of order, cleanliness, and discipline in the care of the poor. Henry Saxon Snell, a prolific architect known for his work on schools, hospitals, and public buildings, expertly blended functionality and aesthetics in the design of the St Marylebone Workhouse Infirmary. The result is a striking and imposing structure that stands as a testament to the era's commitment to providing for the needs of the city's most vulnerable population. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a valuable insight into the history of social welfare and the architectural legacy of the Victorian era. The St Marylebone Workhouse Infirmary, with its intricate details and grandeur, remains a fascinating and important piece of London's history.
