EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the devastating Yellow Fever epidemic that struck Spain in 1878. The image showcases a crucial moment in history, depicting soldiers of the Spanish army being fumigated upon their return from Cuba, where they had been stationed. The engraving, originally featured in "Le Monde Illustre" on November 23rd, 1878, captures the urgency and gravity of the situation. As we observe this black and white snapshot frozen in time, we can almost feel the tension and fear surrounding this deadly outbreak. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty brought about by this contagious illness, doctors diligently attend to these sick soldiers with utmost care. Their dedication is evident as they work tirelessly to combat the spread of disease within their ranks. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful portrayal allows us to reflect on not only the medical aspects but also on themes such as resilience and sacrifice during times of crisis. This artwork serves as a reminder of how pandemics have shaped our history while emphasizing the importance of public health measures even today. As we gaze at this historical artifact captured by French School artists from centuries past, it serves as a poignant reminder that health crises have always demanded collective action and unwavering determination for survival.
