EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lepers outside the walls of Jerusalem, 1892" transports us back in time to a poignant moment in history. The image, captured through a colour lithograph by T. de Haener, offers a glimpse into the lives of those afflicted with leprosy during the late 19th century. The scene unfolds just outside the ancient walls of Jerusalem, where a group of lepers find themselves isolated from society due to their illness. Their presence is both haunting and powerful, as they stand together against the backdrop of towering stone walls that separate them from mainstream life. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only their physical suffering but also their resilience and determination to survive amidst adversity. These outcasts are depicted as beggars seeking solace and support from passing visitors or tourists who may offer some form of aid or compassion. The photograph serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by individuals affected by leprosy - an infectious bacterial disease that was highly stigmatized at that time. It sheds light on the challenges they endured while highlighting broader issues surrounding healthcare and societal attitudes towards those deemed unclean or diseased. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us reflect on how far medical advancements have come since then and strive for greater empathy and understanding towards those facing similar battles today.
