Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

First editions of these extravagant hand-colored lithographic views of the psychiatric hospitals in Maryland and Virginia.

Bold, bright and fresh. OCLC locates 2 copies of each print.Construction of the Maryland psychiatric hospital began before the Civil War but was not completed until 1872 [making this a print of what was to be].

He and thirteen other superintendents would go on to form an association that eventually morphed into the American Psychiatric Association. They were believers in making the patient well through diet, exercise, etc., rather than just housing them. It had a famous director in the 20th century as well, Dr. Joseph S. DeJarnette. He became director in 1904 and held that position until 1943. Dr. DeJarnette was a fierce and staunch believer in eugenics and during his reign was responsible for hundreds of forced sterilizations upon those he considered unfit.The Maryland Asylum was demolished in the 1960s but the core buildings of the Virginia facility remain much as they were and is now considered one of finest examples of early American institutional architecture. …
