EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting lithograph captures the terror of "Swarms of horrible stinging flies" as depicted in the Old Testament Heroes by Mildred Duff. The artist, William Gibbs, brings to life the biblical plague with a sense of dread and foreboding. The image transports us to ancient Egypt, where these relentless insects tormented the people.
The detail in this print is striking - you can almost hear the buzzing of wings and feel the painful bites on your skin. The figures in the foreground are writhing in agony, their faces contorted with pain. In the background, we see more victims succumbing to this terrible affliction.
Gibbs' use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, creating a sense of claustrophobia as these swarms descend upon their helpless prey. The composition draws our eye towards the center where a lone figure stands defiant against this onslaught - a symbol of heroism amidst chaos.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the power and wrath of nature, as well as humanity's resilience in times of crisis. It serves as a chilling reminder that even in our modern world, plagues and epidemics still have the potential to bring us to our knees.
