EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving from 1889 depicts Father Damien, also known as Joseph Damien De Veuster, a Belgian priest who dedicated his life to serving others. The image showcases the remarkable strength and compassion of this extraordinary man. Father Damien's story is one of selflessness and unwavering faith. He ventured far from his homeland to the remote islands of Hawaii in the late 19th century, where he became a missionary among the Polynesian people. His mission took an unexpected turn when he discovered that many were suffering from leprosy, a highly contagious disease at the time. Undeterred by the risks involved, Father Damien chose to live among those afflicted with leprosy on Molokai Island. This act of courage and devotion earned him immense respect and admiration worldwide. In this engraving, we see him holding a crucifix, symbolizing his dedication to both God and humanity. The artist has beautifully captured not only Father Damien's physical appearance but also his spirit - resolute yet compassionate. The vibrant colors used in this print bring out the warmth and kindness that emanated from him. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of Father Damien's legacy - one that continues to inspire countless individuals today. It stands as a testament to his unwavering commitment towards alleviating human suffering and exemplifies what it means to be truly selfless in service to others.
