EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic St. Thomas's Hospital in Southwark, London. Painted by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd, this watercolor on paper artwork showcases the hospital's entrance and provides a glimpse into daily life during the 17th and 18th centuries. St. Thomas's Hospital holds a significant place in history as it was rebuilt between 1693 and 1709 with generous contributions from Sir Robert Clayton, who served as Lord Mayor of London in 1679. The hospital became an essential institution for medical care during this time period. The image portrays male and female patients going about their daily lives within the hospital grounds. Some are seen using crutches, symbolizing their physical ailments while others appear sickly but hopeful for recovery through medical treatment. The architectural details of St. Thomas's Hospital are beautifully depicted, showcasing its grandeur and importance within the community. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of historical architecture but also offers insights into social history and medicine practices of that era. It is worth noting that St. Thomas's Hospital moved to a new location in Lambeth in 1871, making this particular depiction even more valuable as it captures a moment frozen in time before its relocation. This remarkable piece is part of a private collection and can be appreciated for its artistic beauty as well as its historical significance to both Londoners and those interested in medical history alike.
