EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Bring out your Dead! Bring out your Dead!" transports us back to the haunting era of the Great Plague in London. Created by an anonymous English artist during the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment in history when death and despair loomed over the city. The image depicts a grim scene where bodies are being piled up on carts, ready to be taken away for burial. The urgency is palpable as a man with a bell cries out those chilling words: "Bring out your Dead! Bring out your Dead!". This phrase became synonymous with the devastating impact of the plague, as it echoed through deserted streets and struck fear into the hearts of all who heard it. Through its meticulous details and somber tones, this engraving offers a glimpse into the chaos and desperation that engulfed London during this dark period. It serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's vulnerability in times of crisis and our relentless struggle against disease. Preserved within private collections, this artwork has been digitally cleaned to ensure its longevity. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece today, let us remember those who suffered during one of mankind's most harrowing chapters while also appreciating art's ability to immortalize these moments for generations to come.
