Thanks for the claification, Martin and Tom:

According to the page, it still exists, though fused with other such homes, now providing space for the homeless.

Oh, very good, I couldn’t tell if it was still active or simply a national park.

FWIW, the objects you identify as forceps also look quite like concave cutters used in bonsai, but also in traditional gardening/tree care.

Oh, okay, didn’t know about those. That helps make the shovels work as I couldn’t see those being used in surgery, even in the 1800′s.

Not conclusive, but plausible.

Re Hoogeland: yep, no surgery there and it was indeed a home for vagrants, beggars and idiots (mentally ill). According to the page, it still exists, though fused with other such homes, now providing space for the homeless.

Wow, the one you picked is a deeply wonderful image, I really love it. The other one is most definitely odd and somewhat disturbing.
