EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Northern Mariana Islands, capturing a poignant moment of two men suffering from tuberculosis. The image is an engraving created by Jacques Etienne Victor Arago, based on his travels during the early 19th century. The photograph showcases the harsh reality faced by these indigenous individuals as they grapple with this debilitating disease. Their faces bear the weight of their affliction, revealing not only physical deformities but also the emotional toll that comes with such an illness. The visual impact is heightened by the presence of lesions and growths on their bodies, serving as a stark reminder of their daily struggle. These brave souls are depicted at the bottom of society's hierarchy due to their condition, labeled as lepers in a world that often shunned them. Through this powerful image, we are transported to a remote Pacific island where life was far from idyllic for these Chamorro men. It serves as both a historical document and a testament to human resilience in the face of adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Arago's skilled hand, let us reflect on our own fortune and remember those who have endured similar hardships throughout history. May it serve as a reminder that compassion and understanding can help alleviate suffering even in our modern times.
