The Congregational Library has many photographs and graphic materials that have very little description to them. The following photograph sat on display in an office at the library for a while before being cataloged. I find this print to be aesthetically pleasing because my focus is initially drawn to the procession in the foreground. The focus is then drawn to the background through the left-most person looking towards the hills.
The only description of the print is the caption on the back: “Patient coming to the hospital.” There are still many questions about the print. What hospital? Who is the patient? Where and when was the photograph taken? Is the caption accurate? I am under the belief that these are missionaries. If any of you have an answer to any of these questions, please leave a comment below or on the Flickr photo page.
