The Royal Hospital of Bethlehem; gallery for men
The hospital also known as Bethlem Royal Hospital or Bedlam was the oldest psychiatric hospital in the world. The building had been moved around many sites, but was founded in a priory on the outskirts of the city by the sisters of the Star of Bethlehem. It then moved to Bishopsgate Street, where Liverpool Street Station now stands. Afterwards to Moorfields and then to the Lambeth site where the Imperial War Museum is now housed

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical significance of The Royal Hospital of Bethlehem, also known as Bethlem Royal Hospital or Bedlam. Established in a priory on the outskirts of the city by the sisters of the Star of Bethlehem, this hospital holds the title of being the oldest psychiatric hospital in the world.
The building has undergone numerous relocations throughout its long history, moving from Bishopsgate Street (where Liverpool Street Station now stands) to Moorfields and eventually settling at its Lambeth site (now home to the Imperial War Museum). Each move reflects a chapter in the hospital's evolution and commitment to providing care for those in need.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to 1860 when this gallery for men stood as a beacon of hope and healing. The architectural details and grandeur of the structure speak volumes about its importance not only within London's history but also within global psychiatric healthcare.
Through this Rights Managed photo print, we are reminded of how far we have come in understanding mental health while honoring the legacy and impact that institutions like The Royal Hospital of Bethlehem have had on society.
