Dr. J. Orgeas wrote in his 1889 "L'hiver à Cannes": "Just as the sun is the principal of life, so it is the source of all healing. It is the Sun, and uniquely the Sun, that the sick seek in winter on our coast. It is the Great Doctor, Doctor of the Faculty of the Sky, to whom the suffering come to demand a cure for their ills" (p. 466). This image depicts on such group of sun-seekers at Hyères, a coastal town on the Mediterranean.
