EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Jean-Baptiste Estrade (1838-1916), a French tax collector who became an unexpected witness to the renowned apparitions of the Virgin Mary at Lourdes in 1858. Estrade's presence at the site of the miraculous events lends an air of authenticity to his account, making his book one of the most important early records of the Lourdes phenomenon. Born in the Hautes-Pyrénées region of France, Estrade's career as a tax collector brought him to Lourdes during the time when the Virgin Mary was said to have appeared to a young girl named Bernadette Soubirous. Estrade's initial skepticism gave way to belief as he witnessed the inexplicable events unfolding before him. He documented the occurrences meticulously, later publishing his firsthand account in a book titled "Souvenirs de Lourdes" in 1899. Estrade's book, which has been translated into multiple languages, is considered a seminal work in the history of Lourdes and the study of Marian apparitions. His firsthand account of the events at Lourdes, along with his insightful observations and analysis, has captivated generations of readers and scholars. This portrait, taken in the late 19th century, immortalizes the man who played a pivotal role in recording one of the most significant religious events in modern history. The paranormal occurrences at Lourdes continue to intrigue and inspire people from all walks of life, and Estrade's account remains an essential resource for those seeking to understand the events that unfolded there over a century ago. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring allure of the Lourdes story and the role that ordinary people, like Jean-Baptiste Estrade, can play in recording history.
