Imaging prints.
On the walls of the Imaging wait area in the New Maitland Hospital are a number of prints of mid-twentieth century photographs of the hospital.
The images were produced by printing from original photoengraving blocks held in the Maitland Hospital Collection. They tell stories about mid-twentieth century aspects of the hospital that were seen to highlight its work and events .
It is fitting that these pixelated and evocative images of the past created with old technology can be viewed while waiting to have x-rays and other images taken with the latest technology.
