EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image, titled "LA PESTE A MARSEILLE" (The Plague in Marseille), is a poignant depiction of the devastating effects of the bubonic plague that ravaged the city in 1720. The drawing, made on the spot by an unknown artist, captures the scene of the streets of Marseille in a state of chaos and despair. The image shows the streets strewn with plague victims, some being carried away in carts, as the disease spread unchecked. The medical community, depicted in the background, is frantically trying to contain the outbreak, but the scale of the crisis is evident in the sheer number of suffering people. The historical significance of this drawing lies in its firsthand account of one of the most devastating epidemics in European history. The plague, which originated in Asia, reached Marseille via trade ships and quickly spread throughout the city, killing an estimated 70,000 people, or about half of the population. The drawing provides a vivid and disturbing visual record of the suffering and loss caused by the disease. The drawing is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Marseille during a time of great crisis. Despite the overwhelming odds, they continued to fight against the disease, seeking out medical help and caring for the sick and dying. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of public health measures and the need to remain vigilant against the threat of infectious diseases. The drawing, which is part of the Mary Evans Picture Library collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical artifact that offers insight into the past and the human response to a crisis. Its haunting image remains a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of the plague on European society and the importance of taking measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
