Google translates ‘etable indeme de tuberculose’ as ‘tuberculosis-free stable.’ I cannot recall the context of this image but I assume at some point in time there was a stable here on the outskirts of the hamlet of Finiels and it was tuberculosis free.

“The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.”
( Mother Teresa of Calcutta - Albanian born Indian Missionary and Founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity. Nobel Prize for Peace in 1979. 1910-1997)
This was shot at dawn while I was stepping down Dashaswamedh (Main) Ghat in Varanasi (Benaras).
It was freezing, there was a heavy fog and it was not possible to see the Ganges.
At this time lepers are already along the stairs waiting for devotees to give them food, charity or sympathy.
Leprosy is today curable and it is far less infectious than once believed — 95 percent of people are immune and it cannot be transmitted by casual contact, as many people fear.
Though its complete eradication is considered to be medically impossible, India officially “eliminated” the disease in 2005, after a targeted program reduced the level of incidence to fewer than one case per 10,000 people.
However the country still has more than a thousand leper colonies mostly because of ignorance and negligence.
India continues to record the highest number of new leprosy cases in the world (2.5 lakh in 2008).
Many people still suffer and live with the feeling of being unwanted...

…since last time there was a lively conversation around this table. Taken at an abandoned sanatorium I recently visited.
This old sanatorium was built by St. Jorgen Foundation in Bergen. It should serve as a tuberculosis hospital for the West Coast. Most patients came from the Bergen region, but there were patients from all over the country. The sanatorium was in operation until mid 1950's.
The background for building the sanatorium here was said to be it's dry climate, pine forest and the thin mountain air. It was a recipe believed in the old days to cure people with tuberculosis. On this location they found a whole "package" - it was located on a hill and in a climate that one at the time considered "immune zone" against the disease.
In the year 1900, the plans for the sanataorium was ready. The three story hospital would have 96 beds and modern spa and operating room. An extension was made in 1924 and the capacity increased to 120 beds, and by 1950 it had reached 150 beds.
The construction plan in 1900 included also a separate laundry, stable and icehouse - and not least an electrically driven cable car from the steamship pier at the fjord and up to "rock shelf". It should also be built a 6 km stretch of road with 13 bends up the hill.
The cable car and the power plant to the sanatorium are located in side buildings next to the sanatorium. Calculations showed that the large hospital facility would cost 456,000 norwegian kroner (approx. 76000$ - an enormous sum in those days. Most of the money was acquired in Bergen: Bergen city guaranteed for 200,000 kroner, and wealthy citizens for 175,000 kroner. The final amount turned out to be 777,000 thousand kroner when the plant was inaugurated on 2 in November 1902.
On the opening party there was greeting telegrams from both the Swedish-Norwegian King and Queen, Parliament President Carl Werner and shipowner and later Prime Minister Johan Ludwig Mowinckel. Some years later, it was also built senior housing, two family dwellings for the stoker and the gardener, and "sister house" for nurses. there were also a separate chapel with mortuary.
The first treatment they had to offer - before the vaccine against the disease came after World War II - was partly operations - partly different cures. One of the cures they used here was making sure the patients got enough air daily. Meaning they would lay outside in their beds in both in summer and winter, well-packaged in bags of reindeer skins. They were placed under a huge canopy along the entire south wall and this canopy prevented rain and snow to enter in their air spaces. Around the hospital there was built a large park with roads where patients who were strong enough could exercise.
Another cure they used was known as 'Blowing of the lungs'. This took place inside the 'operation lodge'.
The technique comprised much of the so-called "blowing". When tuberculosis attacked the lungs, it would eat the tissue, consume it so that it formed large cavities in the lung tissue. It was essential to close these cavities. This was done by puncturing the lung where the cavities had formed so that sick lung would collapse and the wounds would be healed exactly where the cavities formed.
Patients here was almost fat on the heavy diet and the hospital had its own pig barn where they made sure that the pigs had an extra thick blubber layer before they were slaughtered. And it was also quite common for relatives to send food and treats in abundant quantities
Every July a rich man in Bergen would send a cargo of oranges to patients and staff.
The distance down to the village, the risk of getting infected and the fact that most patients were visitors, not locals - turned this place into a rather secrete and closed society. The sanatorium even had its own post office and therefore the people here would establish a separate social life. The whole complex was built in 1902 so that women and men were strictly separated. There were two bed suites, operation and cure rooms and separate dining rooms for each of the sexes. This separation of the sexes was kept strict up to a major rebuild that was done in 1937.
Although there were strict gender segregation indoors, it was allowed for girls and boys to come together on the romantic paths in the park, as well as in the decorated assembly hall when it was organized parties, cinema, concerts or theater.
Most of the patients here was young people, and those who were fit enough, would take part part in simple sports activities and games in the park outdoors. It was founded to concerts, and patients set up plays every New Year's Eve and may 17.(Norways independence day) And, after a rich shipowner and other rich people in Bergen gave the sanatorium a film apparatus in 1937, they had cinema once a week.
The sanatorium is now shut down. In the fight against tuberculosis there was a breakthrough - it happened just after World War II. Then came effective vaccines against the disease, and a large part of the Norwegian population was vaccinated against tuberculosis in a few years. Thus was the foundation for the operation of the sanatorium gone. But others took over the buildings and between 1950 and 1990 it was used as a psychiatric hospital. After that, it was used as a reception center for refugees from the Balkan war. In 1994 the doors were closed and the sanatorium has been left abandoned since.

Texte du panonceau : « Ministère de l'Agriculture, Services vétérinaires - Étable indemne de tuberculose - 1964 ».
Sur le chemin des bois, près d'Arquian, Nièvre, Bourgogne, France.
Canon 5D Mk III / Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 Series II
Shot at: f/11 // 2 sec // ISO 100
This is cropped to 1x1 with the height staying original and uncropped.
I wanted to try one of these ultra wide angle prime lenses for a while - I decided on the Rokinon 14mm Series II - it's entirely manual - manual focus, manual aperture ring, no AE contacts either so there is zero EXIF information on the lens. That was the easy part with the lens, as I am extremely familiar with shooting on manual only film cameras. I also got this lens on eBay brand new for $200 which is a steal.
The hard part was with the extreme barrel distortion. I had never gone this wide on full frame (115 degree field-of-view), and even on APS-C a 10mm is 110 degree FOV, and I regularly shot with the Tokina 11-16mm just a smidge narrower.
I processed the RAW in Adobe Camera RAW (using Photoshop 2024) and was able to correct much of the distortion using the proper correction profile. Because of how far away the center can be, one must really slow down and spend time and a couple extra clanks of the mirror to get your shots centered properly. I'm a notoriously slow shooter, be it with digital or film and I took about 6 minutes to get this shot right. For architecture/exploring I always use manual focus as I typically shoot using the hyperfocal distance (I do not focus stack) and with how wide this lens is, that takes a little time to ensure focusing is accurate as it must be precise.
Anyways, enough of that - I am relatively happy with the results of this shot. The lighting was not ideal in here at the time of day, but Rokinon definitely delivers with its vivid and saturated colors that they are known for. Sharpness is quite good, though it will take a little trial and error to perfect with proper focusing.
The woman at left on the front of this real photo postcard is Jennie B. Dorsey, who was visiting her aunt (her father's sister), Mrs. Amanda J. (Dorsey) Watkins, in Clarksburg, West Virginia, in 1911 (see also a close-up view of the women).
As Amanda wrote on the back of the card, "This is a picture of my niece who has the consumption," which was another term for tuberculosis, an incurable infectious disease at the time. On the front of the card, Amanda added, "She has been failing ever since she returned to her home in Scranton, Pa."
Sadly, Jennie did pass away the following year on April 3, 1912. She was only 24 years old, and her death certificate listed the cause of her death as pulmonary tuberculosis.
This real photo postcard was postmarked in Columbus, Ohio, on July 13, 1911. It was addressed to Miss Lizzie Seitz, Post Office Box, Muncie, Ind.
A picture that tells a sad story (either in the photo or written on the back) for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.
Message on the front of the postcard:
Jennie Dorsey & Mrs. Watkins in Clarksburg, W.Va. She has been failing ever since she returned to her home in Scranton, Pa.
Message on the other side:
Dear Miss Seitz,
This is a picture of my niece who has the consumption and I on our lawn, and this is the house we live in. We are at the camp for 2 days. We are not very well in body. Will write more in a letter soon. We all send love.
So sorry about your eyes. Use salt water diluted and get the juice of a grape vine. Be careful, don't use strong medicine. Be careful and rest them all you can. I cured mine with salt water.

X-Raying for Tuberculosis
(Original Caption) What is believed to be the largest mass x-raying project in industry ever attempted in the United States got under way on this morning, October 8th, when a group of 1,000 Manhattan fur workers and their families marched before x-ray machines in the Furriers Joint Council of New York auditorium. X-ray machines that could take 200 pictures an hour were used in the huge voluntary tuberculosis detecting program. Here women are in line for the x-ray attendant, who is Sal Morano.

Henryton State Hospital is a now-closed hospital complex in Marriottsville, in southern Carroll County, Maryland, just across the Howard County line. The complex is located within Patapsco Valley State Park and along its southern end runs CSX's Old Main Line Subdivision and is very close to the Henryton Tunnel. The Henryton State Hospital center, or the Henryton Tuberculosis Sanatorium as it was called, was erected in 1922 by the Maryland Board of Mental Hygiene. It was established as a facility to treat African Americans suffering from tuberculosis.[1] This was one of the first such facilities in Maryland erected to provide African Americans with the same level of treatment as whites.
The original complex opened in 1922 and consisted of 6 main buildings and one utility plant. These buildings were erected between the years of 1921 and 1923. The establishment of the Henryton Sanatorium was one of the final steps in Maryland’s program to treat all of the state's tubercular patients. In the late twenties and early thirties the tuberculosis rate among African Americans in Maryland was quadruple what the rate was among whites.[1] This placed a heavy burden on the hospital to deal with the increasing number of patients. In 1938 the hospital was budgeted $270,000 for the construction of new buildings to house 200 more patients.[1] The new buildings roughly doubled the size of the overall facility, and several more municipal buildings added even more space to the complex. However, by the time the new buildings were completed in 1946, the tuberculosis rates had dropped, leaving much more room than was necessary.
In the decades since the facility’s closure, the Henryton State Hospital complex has become a haven for vandals, drifters, and drug addicts. The façade of most of the buildings have been extensively damaged and are covered in graffiti. Most of the windows have been broken out, making the grounds around the hospital very dangerous. The doors to all of the buildings have been broken in, allowing access to the inside. Although the furnishings and equipment were removed before the facility closed, there is still remarkable damage from people going through. Henryton has been the site of many suspicious fires since its closure, the most well-known of them taking place in the early morning of December 19, 2007.[citation needed] Henryton caught fire on April 28, 2011.[2] Initial speculation of this fire was believed to be suspicious in nature, but after fire marshalls conducted their investigation, it was believed to have been sparked by a lightning strike in the roof area.[citation needed] Firefighters arrived on the scene with heavy fire throughout the roof. Severe storms had passed through the area during the time that the fire was reported.
Henryton has suffered from extensive damage over the years
In this incident, the auditorium and cafeteria sections of the complex were engulfed with flames. The blaze took 80 firefighters from 3 counties to extinguish. The burned areas have since been demolished and removed. The 2011 fire affected the Physician and Nurses Cottage, destroying the roof. Visiting the Henryton State Hospital complex without the expressed written consent of the Maryland DHMH is trespassing, but the possible charges and fines seem not to deter most vandals. However, the decades of wear on the buildings without maintenance and the presence of large quantities of asbestos make Henryton a dangerous place to explore.
Since its closing, many attempts to purchase the land have been made, but most potential buyers, after having been approved to buy, have had their proposal for usage vetoed by local government and the like.[citation needed] The land on which the old Henryton Center rests goes on the market occasionally (every 5–6 years or so) and then is removed from the market. The state of Maryland spends a large amount of money to maintain the property minimally and occasionally patrol, and it is an expense that the state seems eager to be rid of.
