EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a profound moment of devotion. Bernadette Soubirous, the central figure in this image, is depicted kneeling before an altar adorned with the Virgin Mary. The unknown photographer skillfully frames the scene, allowing us to witness Bernadette's deep connection with her faith. Bernadette's posture exudes humility and reverence as she bows her head in prayer. Her hands are clasped tightly together, conveying her unwavering devotion to the Virgin Mary. The intensity of her gaze suggests a spiritual encounter beyond our comprehension. The composition is enhanced by the play of light and shadow, adding depth and dimension to the image. This technique lends an air of mystery to Bernadette's encounter with divinity. The setting appears heavy with symbolism; perhaps it represents Lourdes or another sacred place where Bernadette experienced visions of the Virgin Mary herself. The presence of a Bible on the altar further emphasizes the religious significance of this moment captured in time. Leonard de Selva has expertly preserved this 19th-century photograph for future generations to appreciate its beauty and historical value. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness a powerful expression of faith that continues to inspire believers today.
