EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment in Amsterdam's past - the procession of the lepers in 1608. Engraved by Claes Jan Visscher, this image offers a glimpse into the lives of those affected by leprosy during that time period. The scene depicts a diverse group of individuals, both male and female, coming together for this solemn parade. Despite their physical afflictions, they march with dignity and resilience through the streets of Amsterdam. The image showcases the strength and courage these individuals possessed as they faced immense challenges brought on by their condition. Intriguingly, this engraving also highlights aspects beyond healthcare and medicine. It provides insight into early European society's perception towards lepers and how they were integrated within communities despite being marginalized due to their illness. Amidst all these serious undertones, there is an air of camaraderie among the participants. One can imagine conversations taking place or shared moments between them during breaks from the procession – perhaps even finding solace in each other's company. Overall, this print serves as a powerful reminder of our collective history and sheds light on an often overlooked chapter in medical history. It encourages us to reflect upon compassion, acceptance, and our ongoing journey towards inclusivity in healthcare for all individuals regardless of their circumstances or conditions
