EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, showcasing Guys Hospital in Southwark, London. Founded in 1721 by Sir Thomas Guy, a governor of St. Thomas Hospital nearby, Guys was established with the noble purpose of providing shelter for those deemed incurable and discharged from its sister institution. Over time, this historic hospital has evolved into one of the leading teaching hospitals in the region and boasts a remarkable 34-storey tower block today. The engraving featured here is taken from Chamberlains A New and Complete History and Survey of the Cities of London and Westminster printed in 1770. The monochrome image transports us to an era when architecture spoke volumes about societal values. It showcases the grandeur and elegance that characterized English buildings during this period. The landscape surrounding Guys Hospital is serene yet bustling with activity as doctors, nurses, midwives, and medical professionals go about their duties. As we gaze upon this piece captured by Todd-White Art Photography from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of how far medicine has come since then while appreciating the historical significance that institutions like Guys hold within our society. This print serves as a testament to both architectural brilliance and advancements in healthcare throughout England's rich history.
