EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a powerful moment in history, showcasing the compassionate nature of St. Louis, King Louis IX of France. Published in London around 1880, this print is a testament to the enduring legacy of this medieval monarch. In this scene, we see St. Louis seated at an ornate dining table within the confines of his regal interior. With a crown adorning his head and a halo illuminating his saintly presence, he exudes both royalty and holiness simultaneously. His fur-trimmed robe adds an air of opulence to the setting. But it is not these symbols of power that draw our attention; rather, it is St. Louis's selfless act of serving a meal to the poor that truly captivates us. Here we witness him extending his hand towards those less fortunate than himself, embodying the spirit of charity and compassion. The image beautifully depicts how even amidst great wealth and influence, St. Louis remained committed to helping those in need by donating food as alms. This portrayal serves as a reminder that true greatness lies not only in one's position but also in their ability to uplift others. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages by Paul Lacroix, let us be inspired by St. Louis's example and strive to make positive contributions to society just as he did centuries ago.
