Therese lying ill in the cloister
August 30, 1899
This is the last photograph of the Saint, taken exactly one
month before her death. She is arranged in the cloister walk on
a long reclining chair. Therese is wearing a simple night veil
on her head, and over that a cap of white wool. The two straps
of the small night scapular can be seen around her neck. Illness
has made her face almost unrecognizable. |
