EDITORS COMMENTS
Nicolas Roze: A Hero Amidst the Chaos of the Marseille Plague (1720) This evocative image captures the resilient spirit of Nicolas Roze, a Frenchman who distinguished himself during one of the most devastating periods in Marseille's history: the plague outbreak of 1720. Born in 1671, Roze lived during an era when the Black Death ravaged Europe, claiming millions of lives. However, his story stands out for his unwavering courage and selflessness in the face of adversity. Amidst the chaos and fear that gripped Marseille during the plague, Roze, a humble shoemaker, refused to abandon his community. Instead, he dedicated himself to caring for the sick and burying the dead. He set up a makeshift infirmary in his own home, using his limited resources to provide comfort and care to those afflicted by the disease. Despite the immense risk to his own life, Roze continued his heroic efforts, often working through the night to ensure that the dying were given the dignity of a proper burial. His selflessness and compassion were an inspiration to his fellow Marseillais, who looked to him as a beacon of hope in a time of despair. The image of Nicolas Roze, with his kind eyes and gentle expression, serves as a poignant reminder of the human capacity for compassion and resilience in the face of crisis. This photograph, taken from an original print, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the actions of one man could make a profound difference in the lives of many.
