Abstract:
The Hospital of Bethlem [Bedlam] at Moorfields, London; seen from the north, with ladies and gentlemen walking in the foreground. This is the second building of Bethlem Hospital, dating from 1675-6, before the addition of the side pavilions. The engraver has taken liberties with the gate statuary, showing a lion and unicorn couchant rather than the figures by Cibber of melancholy madness and raving madness. In 1814-1815 the hospital removed to St. George's Fields, Southwark, and the Moorfields building was subsequently demolished
