EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures Monsignor Alphonse Favier, the Bishop of Peking, in all his resolute glory. Taken from 'Le Petit Journal' on January 6th, 1901, this print showcases a man who became a hero during the Boxer Rebellion in China. Monsignor Favier's determined gaze and dignified posture convey both strength and compassion. As the leader of the Catholic Church in Peking at that time, he faced immense challenges as he attempted to protect foreigners amidst rising tensions. The Boxers sought to drive all foreigners out of China, but Monsignor Favier stood firm against their aggression. The image transports us back to a tumultuous period in history when East clashed with West. It serves as a reminder of the bravery displayed by individuals like Monsignor Favier who risked their lives for what they believed was right. In this lithograph, we witness not only an important historical figure but also a symbol of resilience and unwavering faith. His actions during the siege by Boxers made him an icon among those who fought against oppression. As we contemplate this striking image today, it prompts us to reflect on the sacrifices made by individuals throughout history to uphold justice and defend human rights. It is through such figures that we gain inspiration for our own battles against adversity.
