EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Jerusalem, the visit of the lepers" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by an anonymous European photographer in the 19th century, this image is part of a private collection. The scene depicts a group of lepers being visited by individuals from various backgrounds. The setting is Jerusalem, known for its rich biblical and historical significance. The visitors include ladies dressed in traditional attire, suggesting their involvement with charitable organizations or religious orders. In this powerful composition, we witness compassion and humanity prevailing over societal stigmas associated with leprosy. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times, acts of kindness can bridge divides and bring hope to those who need it most. The photograph was originally featured as an illustration for Album de Terre Sainte (Holy Land Album), published around 1900 by Maison de la Bonne Presse. This publication aimed to provide insights into the Holy Land through visual documentation. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment where faith intersects with charity. It reminds us of our shared responsibility to care for one another regardless of our differences or circumstances – a timeless message that resonates across cultures and generations.
