EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the scene during the smallpox epidemic of 1894 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Immigrant residents are seen bravely resisting the transfer of patients with smallpox to the quarantine hospital. The wood engraving, created by an American artist in that same year, depicts a moment of struggle and resistance against the moving force of this deadly infection. In this image, we witness a woman and a man standing their ground against authorities who are trying to relocate infected individuals. Their determination is palpable as they confront police officers outside what appears to be an old building in North Milwaukee. The desperation and fear caused by this devastating epidemic can be felt through their expressions. The late 19th century was marked by numerous outbreaks of infectious diseases across America, but it was particularly challenging for immigrant communities who often faced discrimination and limited access to healthcare resources. This engraving serves as a reminder of their resilience and strength amidst adversity. As we reflect on this historical event captured in black-and-white, it reminds us of the importance of public health measures such as quarantines during times of epidemics. It also highlights how communities can come together to protect one another when faced with life-threatening challenges like smallpox.
