The Great Plague, 1665 - The Enthuslast Denouncing London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving from the 19th century takes us back to a dark chapter in history - the devastating Great Plague of 1665. The image depicts an intense scene as an enthusiastic figure stands atop a platform, denouncing London for its sins and calling upon divine retribution. The artist skillfully captures the atmosphere of fear and despair that engulfed the city during this catastrophic time. With meticulous details, we see terrified citizens huddled together, seeking solace amidst crumbling buildings and deserted streets. The hauntingly empty landscape serves as a stark reminder of the plague's deadly grip on society. This print is taken from John Cassells Illustrated History of England (W Kent, 1857/1858), offering us a glimpse into how historical events were portrayed through art during that era. Digitally cleaned to enhance clarity, it allows us to appreciate both the technical mastery and emotional impact of this powerful illustration. As we gaze at this artwork today, we are reminded not only of the immense suffering endured by our ancestors but also of their resilience in facing such unimaginable challenges. It serves as a poignant testament to human strength in times of adversity. Let this engraving be a solemn reminder that history has much to teach us about our capacity for survival and renewal even in the face of great tragedy.
