EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of astonishment and disbelief at Roubaix Hospital in 1924. An old man, brought in appearing to be dead from the cold, is being tidied up by a nun who believes him to be lifeless. However, much to her shock and amazement, the supposed corpse comes back to life right before her eyes. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the fragility of life and the unpredictability of death. It showcases the resilience of the human spirit and how even when all hope seems lost, miracles can still happen. In this historical snapshot, we are transported back in time to witness this incredible event unfold. The expressions on the faces of both the nun and the old man tell a story of disbelief turning into joy and wonder. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded that sometimes things are not always as they seem. The old man may have appeared dead at first glance, but he was not as dead as he seemed - proving that there is always room for hope and unexpected surprises in even the darkest moments. This print is a testament to the mysteries of life and death, capturing a moment that will forever remain etched in history.
