An insane man (Tom Rakewell) sits on the floor manically grasping at his head, his lover (Sarah Young) cries at the spectacle while two attendants attach chains to his legs; they are surrounded by other lunatics at Bethlem hospital, London. Engraving by W. Hogarth, 1735.
A dense engraving titled Mad in Bedlam shows a man slumped on the floor of a barred ward, tended by attendants while a woman in a white gown stands nearby. Around them, other patients crowd benches and cells, their gestures wild, under a shadowy, cross-hatched interior.
