Offprint from The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, Volume CV, Number 2, April 1981. Wraps, 22 pages, 5 illustrations, including portraits of Dr. Thomas Story Kirkbride, resident physician at the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane, and the photographers William Langenheim and Fredrick Langenheim of Philadelphia. [The Kirkbride Archives at Pennsylvania Hospital includes a large quantity of lantern slides, some produced by the Langenheims beginning in 1851, used to entertain the patients. This pamphlet was reissued in 1994 by the American Psychiatric Association.] Very good, with a small rectangular stain on back cover, probably from acid migration.
