EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intriguing print titled "Flies carry contagion into the home; Tanglefoot catches and destroys them" captures a moment of action and danger. Created by an anonymous American School artist in the 19th century, this colourful lithograph showcases a scene that is both captivating and informative. In this image, we see a bustling city street with rows of charming houses lining the sidewalks. However, our attention is immediately drawn to the central figure - a vigilant dog standing guard at the entrance of one particular home. The dog's alert posture suggests that something sinister is lurking nearby. Indeed, upon closer inspection, we notice an array of wire traps strategically placed on windowsills and doors. These traps are ingeniously designed to catch flies - notorious carriers of infection and disease. One can almost imagine these tiny pests buzzing around unsuspecting households, spreading contagion wherever they land. The star of this artwork is undoubtedly the Tanglefoot trap itself - a sticky substance that ensnares any fly unfortunate enough to come into contact with it. Its effectiveness in destroying these disease-carrying insects becomes evident as numerous trapped flies dot its surface. As we admire this fascinating piece, let us be reminded of the importance of maintaining good health practices within our homes. Flies may seem harmless at first glance but their potential for spreading infection should not be underestimated. This artwork serves as a visual reminder to take necessary precautions against such threats for the well-being of ourselves and our loved ones.
