This print titled "L Ile Des Lepreux (engraving)" takes us on an exciting journey back to the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, showcases a dramatic scene from the Journal Des Voyages dated September 28,1890. In this engraving by French School artists, we are transported to a remote island known as L Ile Des Lepreux. This missionary travel adventure explores themes of compassion and exploration in the face of disease. A monk, representing Christianity and its values, stands amidst a leper colony on this isolated island. The image evokes both excitement and curiosity as we witness the challenges faced by these individuals afflicted with leprosy. It reminds us of the importance of charity and religious beliefs in providing support for those suffering from such diseases. Set against the backdrop of Iceland's breathtaking landscapes and influenced by European culture, including Monaco and France, this engraving captures not only historical significance but also religious devotion.
