EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the somber atmosphere of Hong Kong's Plague District during the early 1900s. The image, part of the Boswell Collection, depicts a building perched atop the crest of a hill, its lantern aglow against the night sky. The Plague District, also known as "Box 138," was a quarantined area established in 1894 to contain the spread of bubonic plague in Hong Kong. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the stark reality of life during this period of disease and uncertainty. The building, with its dark, imposing silhouette, stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of those who lived through these challenging times. The use of a lantern suggests that the building may have been a hospital or infirmary, serving as a refuge for those afflicted by the plague. Despite the ominous setting, the photograph also conveys a sense of hope and order. The presence of the building on the hill, with its clear view of the surrounding area, symbolizes the importance of medical care and the efforts to contain the spread of the disease. The lantern, a beacon of light in the darkness, represents the human spirit and the determination to overcome adversity. This photograph is a poignant reminder of Hong Kong's rich history and the challenges it has faced throughout the centuries. It invites us to reflect on the resilience and strength of the human spirit, and the importance of medical care and public health in times of crisis.
