EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the United States Leprosarium on Molokai, Hawaii, circa 1916. Nestled in a picturesque setting, this facility represents the government's unwavering commitment to combatting leprosy, an affliction that has haunted humanity for centuries. With an expenditure of nearly half a million dollars, the United States has spearheaded scientific research on leprosy like no other place in the world. The hope lies in discovering a serum that can bring relief to thousands suffering from this dreaded disease. Physicians have grappled with leprosy since ancient times without finding a definitive solution. However, through relentless efforts and advancements in medical knowledge, it is believed that breakthroughs are imminent. The construction of these buildings began in 1907 and two years later, in 1909, they were opened to receive patients seeking treatment and solace. The original appropriation for building expenses amounted to $100,000 while equipment and maintenance costs have reached approximately $350,000 thus far. As we gaze upon this postcard image of the United States Leprosarium on Molokai today, we are reminded of both the beauty surrounding it and the immense dedication invested by scientists and healthcare professionals striving to conquer leprosy's devastating impact on individuals' lives.
