EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Leper House, a significant historical structure from the 13th century. The detailed engraving captures the essence of this remarkable building, which served as a sanctuary for those afflicted by leprosy during medieval times. The image is derived from Vincent de Beauvais's Miroir Historical manuscript, providing us with an invaluable glimpse into the past. The Leper House was an integral part of French medical history and played a crucial role in treating individuals suffering from leprosy. During this era, diseases like leprosy were poorly understood, and those affected often faced social stigma and isolation. However, institutions such as the Leper House provided solace and care for these individuals, offering them shelter and medical assistance. This engraving not only highlights the architectural beauty of the Leper House but also serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of understanding diseases and providing compassionate healthcare. As we reflect on this image, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its historical significance. It stands as a testament to human resilience in overcoming adversity while reminding us to cherish our advancements in medicine and compassion towards those facing health challenges even today.
