EDITORS COMMENTS
The Street of the Lepers, Harrar, Ethiopia, 1898 Description: This evocative photograph captures the haunting image of the Street of the Lepers in the ancient city of Harrar, Ethiopia, in 1898. The street, now a poignant reminder of a bygone era, was once the residence of those afflicted with leprosy, a historical medical ailment that has long been shrouded in fear and stigma. The photograph reveals a desolate scene, with the sun casting long shadows over the cobblestone street. The buildings on either side, their walls adorned with intricate Ethiopian motifs, appear abandoned, their doors and windows shuttered. A few figures, clad in tattered rags and with visible signs of the disease, can be seen huddled together in the distance. The Street of the Lepers was a segregated area of the city, where those affected by leprosy were forced to live in isolation. The disease, which causes skin lesions and nerve damage, was widely misunderstood in the late 19th century, leading to widespread fear and discrimination. This photograph offers a glimpse into a dark chapter of Ethiopian history, one that highlights the plight of those affected by leprosy and the societal stigma they faced. Today, however, leprosy is a treatable disease, and efforts to eradicate it continue around the world. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of empathy, compassion, and understanding in the face of medical ailments and societal prejudices. Historical Context: The photograph was taken in 1898, during a time when Ethiopia was experiencing increased European influence. The Italian explorer and photographer, Luigi Capuana, captured this image as part of his extensive documentation of Ethiopia and its people. The photograph is a valuable historical record of a time when leprosy was a major public health concern and a source of fear and stigma.
