EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting engraving captures a scene from late 19th century France during the epidemic of sweating sickness. The image shows a team room and boiler train, symbols of industry and progress, juxtaposed against the backdrop of illness and contagion. The steam billowing from the train's engine mirrors the feverish heat of those afflicted by the disease, while the figures in the foreground appear to be tending to their duties despite the looming threat of sickness. The stark contrast between modern technology and ancient plague serves as a reminder of humanity's vulnerability in the face of pandemics. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every line etched into this print, conveying both the urgency and despair that characterized this dark period in history. The composition draws viewers into a world where health and sickness are intertwined, where life goes on even as death looms large. As we navigate our own global health crisis today, this engraving serves as a poignant reminder of our shared past struggles with illness and contagion. It urges us to remember those who came before us, facing similar challenges with courage and resilience.
