About This Design

Dorothea Dix Mental Health Prison Reform Nurse Postcard

Dorothea Dix Mental Health Prison Reform Nurse Postcard

Dorothea "Dragon" Dix, 1802-1887, was a formidable advocate for better treatment of the mentally ill, prisoners, and founding nursing as a profession. At 14 she opened a school to educate poor children. After several decades teaching, she became an advocate for prison reform and separate treatment of the mentally ill who were often imprisoned with violent criminals. She openly challenged 19th century views of illness and prison reform and felt that no one got better when they were degraded and mistreated. At 59 years old, she became the Superintendent of Army Nurses for the Union during the Civil War but believed in treating Union and Confederate soldiers with the same level of compassion and professionalism. She is considered a nursing pioneer and had a hand in founding over 32 mental health hospitals in the United States.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
