EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Camisards Meeting in the Desert" takes us back to the 17th century, capturing a significant moment in French history. The engraving showcases a religious group known as the Camisards, gathered together for a ceremony amidst the harsh desert landscape. In this intriguing image, we see men and women of all ages standing side by side, seeking refuge from the scorching sun under umbrellas and parasols. The rocky terrain serves as their makeshift congregation space, emphasizing their determination to practice their Protestant faith even in challenging circumstances. Amidst this diverse crowd, one can spot a couple engaged in prayer while others listen intently to a speaker or preacher delivering an impassioned sermon. It is evident that these individuals are deeply committed to their religion and have come together as an assembly of believers. The Camisards were Huguenots who faced persecution due to their Protestant beliefs during this period. This clandestine gathering represents not only their resilience but also highlights the importance of community support during times of adversity. This historical photograph offers us a glimpse into the strength and devotion of these brave souls who risked everything for their faith. Preserved by Bibliotheque de la Societe de l'Histoire du Protestantisme Francais in Paris, France, it stands as a testament to human perseverance and religious freedom throughout history.
