EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Le cardinal Mercier, archeveque de Malines, et Mgr. Heylen, eveque de Namur, dans le jardin du College belge de Rome" (The Cardinal Mercier, Archbishop of Mechelen, and Mgr. Heylen, Bishop of Namur, in the Garden of the Belgian College of Rome), was taken by Belgian photographer Robert Vaucher in 1916. The image is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916" (Collection of the War IV. The Illustration Volume CXLVII. The War January, February, March, April, May, June 1916). The photograph captures two prominent Catholic figures of the time, Cardinal Desire-Felicien-Francois-Joseph Mercier, Archbishop of Mechelen-Brussels, and Bishop Thomas-Louis Heylen of Namur, standing in the garden of the Belgian College in Rome. Both men are dressed in their ecclesiastical vestments, with Mercier wearing a red hat signifying his cardinal status. They gaze directly at the camera with a serious expression, their gazes intense and unwavering. The photograph offers a glimpse into the fashion of the time, with the men's clothing reflecting the traditional attire of the Catholic clergy during the early 20th century. The setting, the garden of the Belgian College in Rome, adds to the sense of history and tradition. The photograph is a significant document of the Catholic Church during the First World War, showcasing the leadership and faith of two prominent Belgian bishops during a time of conflict and uncertainty. The image has been preserved in the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916," a testament to its historical value and importance.
