EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant moment of Cardinal Lavigerie's final hours on his deathbed. Taken from Le Petit Journal on December 17th, 1892, this coloured engraving by the French School beautifully depicts the archbishop of Algiers in a state of repose. Surrounded by an atmosphere filled with solemnity and reverence, mourners gather around to pay their last respects to this esteemed prelate. The scene is illuminated by flickering candles that cast a soft glow upon Cardinal Lavigerie's serene face, creating an ethereal ambiance. The composition exudes a sense of dignity and grace as the cardinal lies peacefully on a grand dais adorned with intricate details. His presence commands respect even in his final moments, symbolizing his unwavering devotion to his faith and service to others. Every detail in this engraving speaks volumes about Cardinal Lavigerie's life and legacy. From the somber expressions etched onto the faces of those paying their respects to the meticulous craftsmanship evident in every stroke of the artist's hand, it is clear that this image serves as both a tribute and homage to an influential figure. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured over a century ago, we are reminded not only of Cardinal Lavigerie's impact but also of our own mortality. It invites us to reflect on our purpose and how we can leave behind a lasting legacy just like he did.
