EDITORS COMMENTS
This studio photograph from c1900 showcases the haunting costume worn by members of the Brotherhood of Mercy in Florence, Italy when tending to victims of the plague. The image transports us back to a time when medicine was still grappling with infectious diseases and their devastating consequences. The unidentified men in this picture don long, dark robes that completely envelop their bodies, creating an air of mystery and solemnity. Their faces are hidden beneath hoods, adding an element of anonymity as they carry out their sacred duty. A wide-brimmed hat sits atop each figure's head, further obscuring their features and emphasizing the gravity of their task. The attire is reminiscent of early Italian medical practices at the turn of the century. It serves as a visual representation not only of protection against infection but also as a symbol for compassion and selflessness in times of crisis. These brave individuals were on the frontlines during one of history's most devastating plagues, risking their own lives to bring comfort and aid to those suffering. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded both of our progress in combating infectious diseases and our debt to those who came before us. This image stands as a testament to human resilience and dedication in times when hope seemed scarce.
