EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - an avalanche at the Great St Bernard Pass in Switzerland, back in 1897. The image showcases the sheer power and beauty of nature as snow cascades down the majestic Alps. However, what truly makes this photograph remarkable is the human element it portrays. In the midst of chaos, we see a group of dedicated monks from the Great Hospice of St Bernard diligently digging their way out. Their unwavering commitment to their calling shines through as they work tirelessly to free themselves from this natural disaster. This scene serves as a testament to their resilience and determination. Published in Le Petit Journal on March 14th, 1897, this illustration offers us a glimpse into history while highlighting both the dangers and triumphs faced by those who reside amidst such breathtaking landscapes. It also provides insight into Christian values and religious devotion that guided these brave souls. The Great St Bernard Pass has long been associated with spirituality and pilgrimage due to its historical significance as a route for travelers crossing between Switzerland and Italy. This photograph not only documents an extraordinary event but also encapsulates centuries-old traditions carried out by Augustinian monks residing at the hospice. As we admire this vivid color lithograph today, let us reflect on how faith can empower individuals even during times of adversity. The dedication displayed by these monks reminds us that strength lies within ourselves when facing life's challenges head-on - just like they did against nature's mighty force on that fateful day in 189
