EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of entertainment at the Brompton Hospital for Consumption. The scene is filled with an air of joy and respite amidst the somber backdrop of illness. In this image, we see patients gathered in a hospital ward, their faces alight with anticipation as they enjoy an evening concert. A group of musicians occupies one corner, playing various musical instruments including violins, flutes, and even a piano. The melodies fill the room, providing solace and distraction from their ailments. The artist Arthur Hopkins skillfully captures both the physical setting and emotional atmosphere within this engraving. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched onto paper seems to convey not only the architectural features but also the emotions felt by those present. Entertainment was undoubtedly a vital aspect of life at Brompton Hospital for Consumption – now known as Royal Brompton Hospital – where patients suffering from tuberculosis sought treatment during that era. These concerts provided much-needed relief from pain and isolation while fostering a sense of community among fellow sufferers. As we gaze upon this historical print today, it serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of great hardship, music has always had the power to heal souls and bring people together.
