EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the somber reality of the plague in Bombay during the late 19th century. The image depicts the President of the Local Committee and an Indian doctor as they make their daily rounds in the native quarter of the city. The scene is filled with a sense of urgency and despair, as both men are seen wearing protective masks to shield themselves from this deadly epidemic. They navigate through narrow streets lined with dilapidated buildings, where poverty-stricken residents gather in search of medical aid. The artist, Melton Prior, skillfully portrays not only the physical toll that this disease has taken on its victims but also highlights the resilience and dedication shown by these two figures. Their presence brings hope to those suffering amidst this devastating crisis. This powerful illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on February 5th, 1898. It serves as a stark reminder of how diseases can ravage communities and underscores the importance of healthcare professionals working tirelessly to combat such outbreaks. Today, this lithograph stands as a historical testament to one chapter in Bombay's past plagued by tragedy but also marked by bravery and compassion.
