EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the proposed buildings of St. Thomass Hospital, located in Stangate, Lambeth, London, England. Completed in 1871, this hospital was a pioneer in adopting the innovative "pavilion principle" which was popularized by Florence Nightingale herself. The concept involved constructing six separate ward buildings positioned at right angles to the river frontage and set 125 feet apart from each other. These structures were ingeniously connected by low corridors. Published in The Illustrated London News in 1865, this historical image offers a glimpse into the architectural marvels of that era. The hospital's design aimed to provide optimal care for patients while ensuring efficient movement within the facility. Its strategic layout allowed for ample natural light and fresh air circulation throughout each pavilion. The photograph not only captures an important milestone in medical history but also highlights the grandeur of Victorian-era architecture. This archival gem serves as a testament to the meticulous attention given to every detail during its construction. As you delve into this image, let your imagination transport you back to 19th-century London along the banks of River Thames. Explore how these magnificent structures stood tall against time and served as beacons of hope for those seeking medical assistance.
