EDITORS COMMENTS
The Infirmary of the Sisters of Charity: A Royal Visit and Compassionate Care". In this engraving by Abraham Bosse, we are transported back to the year 1635, witnessing a momentous occasion at the Infirmary of the Sisters of Charity. The esteemed Anne of Austria, Infanta of Spain and Queen of France and Navarre, graces the infirmary with her presence. The scene unfolds in a spacious ward adorned with four poster beds. Monks dressed in their humble habits attend to patients who lay on these beds, seeking solace from illness. The atmosphere is one filled with healing energy and compassionate care. As Anne walks through the ward, she engages with both monks and patients alike. Her regal presence brings comfort to those suffering as they witness her genuine concern for their well-being. In one corner, we see a monk dishing out food onto plates while another serves it to a patient during mealtime. A beautiful verse or inscription adorns the walls - perhaps an uplifting message meant to inspire hope amidst adversity. The perspective captured by Bosse allows us to appreciate not only the interactions between individuals but also the communal spirit that permeates throughout this sacred space. This engraving offers us a glimpse into an era where healthcare was intertwined with spirituality and compassion. It reminds us that even in times long past, acts of kindness were valued as essential components in providing care for those most vulnerable among us – our fellow human beings.
