This photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of healthcare. The image showcases patients and nuns at the Hospital of Hotel Dieu in Paris, providing us with a glimpse into their daily lives during the 15th century. The scene is filled with compassion as female nurses attentively take the pulse of patients lying on beds within the ward. The atmosphere exudes an aura of mercy and care, as illuminated by Jean Henry's manuscript artwork. The dormitory-like setting highlights the communal nature of healing, where both male and female patients are treated side by side. The presence of nuns adds a spiritual dimension to this snapshot, emphasizing their dedication to curing illness through acts of charity. Their devotion is beautifully depicted through this French School print from Le Livre de Vie Active de l'Hotel Dieu.
