EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting 19th-century engraving captures the devastating impact of the Bubonic plague, a zoonotic disease that spread among small rodents and their fleas. The image depicts a scene of despair and desperation as a large group of people, including priests, clergy, men, women, boys, and girls kneel in prayer under a cloudy sky. The somber atmosphere is palpable as the community comes together to plead for mercy from above in the face of illness and death.
The artist's attention to detail is striking, with each figure depicted in various states of distress - some lying down in sickness while others raise their hands towards the heavens. The black-and-white composition adds to the sense of mourning and solemnity that pervades this historical moment.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the resilience of humanity in times of crisis. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and the importance of coming together in solidarity during times of adversity. This engraving stands as a testament to both the suffering caused by pandemics throughout history and our enduring capacity for hope and faith in moments of darkness.
