[Psychiatry] Album with ca. 75 (group) photos of female psychiatric patients

from the Asile Sainte-Anne (Paris, founded 1 January 1867), ca. 1880-1890, photos sized 9.5x5.5 to 12x18cm., with all patients' last names (sometimes first names) in pen, bound in contemporary blind stamped leather, all cuts gilt, oblong 4to.

Content and covers separate, photos largely somewhat pale. Separately added a (not filled in) list of the curative baths of the asylum, dated 188 (last number not filled in). A very interesting album with rare photos. Thanks to the identification in pen and some further investigation, the story behind this group of women can be reconstructed, among others Petit-Mathilde, Jugieu, Potron, Devins, Lecherpy, Vigé, Colette, Marchat, Guignard etc. On the first photo an image of part of the building, perhaps the hall where these women were treated.
