EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Two Nestorians at the Strangers Home for Asiatics, Limehouse" transports us back to 19th-century London, offering a glimpse into the lives of two intriguing individuals. The engraving showcases an English School's artistic rendition of this historical moment. In this thought-provoking image, we see two Nestorian clergymen named Priest Yohanan and Deacon Yiskhak. They are depicted in their traditional attire within the confines of the Strangers Home for Asiatics in Limehouse. This establishment served as a sanctuary for individuals from Asia who sought refuge or temporary residence in London during that era. The engraving was originally created as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on July 5,1862. It beautifully captures the essence of religious diversity and cultural exchange prevalent during this time period. Through their expressions and body language, Priest Yohanan and Deacon Yiskhak exude a sense of serenity and wisdom that transcends language barriers. Their presence reminds us of the importance of embracing different faiths and traditions while fostering understanding among diverse communities. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to the power of art in preserving history and shedding light on forgotten narratives. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a bygone era where religion played a significant role in shaping society's fabric.
