"Sickly: A Journey through History's Ailments and Afflictions" Step into the world of sickness and suffering as we explore various depictions of "sickly" throughout history. From the Lakeland Dalesman in Cumbria to Charles II, King of Spain, these hints provide a glimpse into the lives affected by illness. In 1855, a map from "On the Mode of Communication of Cholera" showcases how diseases spread during that time. It serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding contagion and preventing its transmission. Charles II, known as "the Bewitched, " ruled Spain from 1661 to 1700. Despite his royal status, he suffered from numerous health issues that plagued him throughout his life. This portrait captures his sickly appearance but also reveals his resilience in maintaining power despite adversity. The Gipsies have long been associated with an itinerant lifestyle, often facing hardships including poor health conditions. Their nomadic existence exposed them to various illnesses prevalent during their travels. Ivan Russia Russian Royalty (1666-1696) was another figure who battled ill-health during his reign.

"The Childhood of Saint Genevieve" (1874) portrays a young girl battling illness while finding solace in her faith. This artwork symbolizes hope amidst adversity and emphasizes the strength found within even when one is sickly. Robert Louis Stevenson's "A Child's Garden of Verses" published in 1885 includes illustrations like "A child in bed.
