EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the town of Pont-l'Abbe, France. Taken in the 19th century, it showcases a procession commemorating the town's deliverance from the devastating plague that struck in 1632. The ex-voto of Sainte-Anne d'Auray is prominently displayed, symbolizing gratitude and faith for their salvation. The image transports us to a time when disease ravaged communities, reminding us of the resilience and strength of humanity. The unknown artist skillfully depicts the somber yet hopeful atmosphere surrounding this procession. People clad in traditional Breton attire march solemnly through the streets, carrying religious symbols and banners as they pay homage to their patron saint. The historical context adds depth to this photograph, highlighting not only the impact of epidemics on society but also showcasing how communities came together during times of crisis. It serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness and despair, hope can prevail. Leonard de Selva's expert photography beautifully captures every detail and emotion within this scene. Through his lens, we witness both individual expressions of relief and collective unity against adversity. This remarkable artwork invites contemplation on themes such as health, community resilience, and faith while providing an invaluable glimpse into history. It stands as a testament to human perseverance throughout centuries plagued by illness and reminds us to cherish our physical well-being above all else.
