Description: Asylum Ephemera Sale 2024-2025 All proceeds to fund ongoing archival preservation As some of you longtime followers know, in 2020 I inherited the Jordan/Ference Collection of Great War Stereography; my previous passion project of documenting abandoned insane asylums has fallen by the wayside. However, I need to fund the archive that I currently curate; in doing so I am selling off most of the asylum ephemera that was left to me by my late AMA (Aunt Mary Anne, who worked at Mayview State Hospital) and which I purchased on auction sites like this. All items are documented to the best of my ability; all are sold as-is so please ask questions first! The shipping prices are firm but combinable; this is due to the time of packaging and walking over a mile to the post office. Please don't buy and complain about shipping. This is an original 1915 annual report from Utica State Hospital to the New York State Hospitals Commission, published in 1916. While the cover is a bit weathered, the interior is in amazing shape with minimal foxing, and contains a wealth of information on the hospital, from rundowns of various psychoses to the amount of Brussels sprouts returned for being low quality. All 52 pages are in great condition, almost as if it came straight from an archive, and reveal much about asylum life 109 years ago, before Metrazol shock therapy, insulin coma therapy, lobotomy, and Thorazine. Will be shipped carefully so as not to be bent. A gem of an addition to any asylum or American psychiatry collection!
