EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Alphonse (Alfonso Gieronimo) by Ornano 1548-1610 during the plague of Bordeaux 1604" transports us back to a time of immense suffering and resilience. Created in 1860 by an unknown artist, this print captures the essence of human compassion amidst the devastating backdrop of disease. The scene unfolds on a poverty-stricken street in Bordeaux, France. Multiple people are depicted, each bearing the weight of their own misery caused by the plague that ravaged their city. Alphonse (Alfonso Gieronimo), portrayed as a horseman with his coin purse in hand, stands out amongst them all. In this portrait, we witness acts of generosity and equity amidst despair. Alphonse's presence offers hope as he reaches out to aid those less fortunate than himself. His selflessness serves as a reminder that even in times of great adversity, humanity can rise above its circumstances. The artist skillfully captures the somber atmosphere through intricate details such as worn-out clothing and expressions etched with pain and exhaustion. The viewer is transported into this historical moment where sickness looms large but so does resilience. This engraving not only showcases an important period in history but also highlights themes that resonate today: health, medicine, contagion, and community support during times of crisis. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always room for compassion and unity.
