EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting woodcut from the 17th century captures a grim scene during the Plague outbreak in London. Titled "Londoners fleeing to the country to avoid the Plague" it depicts a mass exodus of terrified individuals desperately seeking refuge from the deadly disease. The image showcases an overwhelming sense of panic and anguish as people scramble to escape, their faces etched with fear. Horses pull carriages filled with passengers, while others are seen on foot, carrying whatever belongings they can manage. The streets are teeming with chaos and despair. Amidst this chaotic scene, a skeleton looms ominously in the background, serving as a chilling reminder of death's presence. It symbolizes both the inevitability of mortality and the terror that gripped London during this devastating epidemic. The woodcut evokes strong emotions of anxiety and angst, reflecting not only individual fears but also collective societal trauma. It serves as a poignant historical document reminding us of humanity's vulnerability in times of crisis. As we reflect on this print today, it reminds us how far medical science has come in combating infectious diseases like plagues and epidemics. It is also a testament to our resilience as humans who have faced numerous health challenges throughout history. This powerful artwork is part of The Stapleton Collection held privately and preserved by Bridgeman Images for future generations to appreciate and learn from our shared past experiences.
