China, like other Eastern countries, has always suffered much from plagues of destroying locusts. Among the stories told of the second Emperor of the T'ang Dynasty is one that during a severe visitation of this sort he offered up a prayer to God, at the same time swallowing a live locust in evidence of sincerity.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Henry Charles Seppings Wright depicts the devastating impact of a plague of locusts in ancient China. The detailed illustration showcases the chaos and destruction caused by these swarming insects, as people desperately try to fend them off.
The story behind this artwork is equally intriguing - it is said that during a severe infestation, the second Emperor of the T'ang Dynasty offered up a prayer to God while swallowing a live locust as a sign of his sincerity. However, there is no record that this act was able to stop the plague.
The image has been digitally enhanced to bring out its intricate details and make it easier for reproduction. It serves as a reminder of the historical struggles faced by civilizations against natural disasters like plagues and epidemics.
Through this powerful visual narrative, viewers are transported back in time to witness the resilience and faith of those who battled against overwhelming odds. The black and white tones add an air of mystery and drama to the scene, enhancing its impact on anyone who gazes upon it.
This print from Bridgeman Images captures not just a moment in history, but also conveys timeless themes of human perseverance in the face of adversity.
