EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in the year 1882, captures the historic Hospice of the Great St. Bernard Pass in Switzerland, a place of refuge and rescue for weary travelers making their way between Italy and Switzerland through the treacherous Alpine terrain. The Hospice, founded by Bernard of Menthon in the 11th century, has a rich history of providing shelter and assistance to those in need, especially during harsh winter conditions. The image showcases the monks of the Great St. Bernard Abbey, who have kept St. Bernard dogs as part of their tradition since the 17th century. These large, powerful dogs, with their distinctive black and white coats, were bred specifically for their exceptional abilities to find and rescue lost travelers in the snow. The monks would send out the dogs in pairs, with one dog leading the way and the other following behind to guide the travelers safely to the Hospice. The Hospice, situated at an altitude of over 2,400 meters (7,874 feet), is a testament to the resilience and compassion of the monks who have dedicated their lives to helping travelers navigate the challenging Alpine landscape. The photograph, with its stunning backdrop of snow-capped mountains and the serene expression of the St. Bernard dogs, evokes a sense of awe and admiration for the heroic efforts of these monks and their canine companions throughout history. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of community, compassion, and the indomitable human spirit, as well as the remarkable bond between humans and animals. The Hospice of the Great St. Bernard Pass, with its enduring legacy, continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
