A Day at the Sanatorium: A Humorous Look into the World of Sing Sing, as Depicted by Puck Magazine. This intriguing and humorous print, titled "A Day at the Sanatorium," comes from the renowned American humor magazine, Puck, published in the late 19th century. The image offers a satirical take on the daily life at Sing Sing Sanatorium, a popular tuberculosis treatment center located in Ossining, New York. The cartoon, created by an unknown artist, showcases a lively scene filled with patients enjoying various activities within the sanatorium's grounds. The image is a stark contrast to the somber and serious depictions of tuberculosis and sanatoriums during that era. Instead, Puck presents a more lighthearted and playful perspective. In the foreground, patients are engaged in a spirited game of croquet, while others are seen playing cards, reading, or even taking a leisurely stroll. A group of men are gathered around a makeshift bar, presumably enjoying a drink or two. In the background, medical staff are tending to patients in their beds, while a nurse checks a patient's temperature. The overall atmosphere of the print is one of camaraderie and community, with patients appearing content and at ease in their surroundings. The cartoon serves as a reminder that, despite the serious nature of their illness, there was still a sense of normalcy and joy to be found in the daily lives of those at the sanatorium. This print offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a humorous and insightful look into the world of Sing Sing Sanatorium and the lives of its patients during the late 1800s.
