EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating Plague of Crickets that struck Algeria in the 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, depicts a scene of chaos and destruction caused by swarms of crickets descending upon the Algerian landscape. In this haunting image, we see a female figure amidst a sea of insects. She stands beside a section of corn stalks, which have been stripped bare by the ravenous crickets. The once flourishing crops now lay buried under layers of insect bodies and remnants. The detail in this print is remarkable - one can even spot intact eggs within the ovaries of some crickets. The sheer number and intensity with which these creatures attacked is evident as they cover every inch of earth visible in the frame. Notably, there is also a male adult winged cricket known as Stauronotus maroccanus featured prominently in the foreground. Its presence emphasizes both the scale and diversity of these invading insects. This historical relic serves as a reminder not only of nature's destructive power but also highlights humanity's vulnerability to such natural disasters. It offers us insight into an event that had significant consequences for Algerians at that time. Through this artwork, we are transported back to witness firsthand how this plague ravaged North Africa's agricultural heartland and disrupted daily life for countless individuals living within its borders.
