EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Father Damien, a Belgian Catholic missionary, during his noble mission to the leper colony on Molokai, Hawaii from 1873-1889. The image depicts him sitting on a beach, deep in thought and contemplation. His presence exudes bravery, compassion, and courage as he dedicated his life to serving those afflicted with leprosy. Father Damien's heroism earned him the title of Saint Damien of Molokai. This photograph beautifully captures his unwavering commitment to providing care and support for the lepers in this isolated community. Despite facing immense challenges and stigma associated with the disease at that time, Father Damien fearlessly embraced his calling. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the historical significance of Father Damien's work. It is an illustration from "The Red Book of Heroes" by Mrs Lang published in 1909. Belgium's beloved son ventured far from home to spread love and hope among those suffering from leprosy in Hawaii. His selflessness transcended borders and inspired people around the world. This powerful image serves as a reminder of Father Damien's enduring legacy as well as highlighting the importance of charity and empathy towards others who are marginalized or stigmatized by society.
