Jean-Philippe Charbonnier—French Psychiatric Hospitals, 1954
In 1954 Jean-Philippe Charbonnier documented French Psychiatric hospitals and some of the photographs were first published in Réalités in January 1955. Here a selection of the original reportage is shown followed by the magazine layouts - published in the magazine with two fluffy cats on the cover. It is interesting to see that a number of most most powerful images were not published due to the sensitivities of the 1950s and that the eyes of the patients are at times masked to protect their identities.
