King Cholera - A Haunting Personification of Disease
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white lithograph from the 19th century, titled "King Cholera" offers a chilling representation of the deadly disease that plagued society during that era. The image portrays Cholera as a skeletal figure, draped in a suit complete with top hat, cravat, waistcoat, and umbrella. With a suitcase by his side and an eerie smile on his face, this comical yet sinister character embodies the fear and devastation caused by the contagious illness. The artist's use of black humor is evident in this satirical cartoon-like depiction. By personifying Cholera as a regal monarch, it highlights how death can lurk around every corner without discrimination or mercy. The exaggerated features add to its caricature-like quality while serving as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by those affected. This print serves not only as an artistic expression but also as historical documentation of society's response to epidemic outbreaks during this period. It reflects both the fascination with medicine and fear surrounding diseases like cholera. Displayed against a plain background, King Cholera demands attention with its powerful imagery and thought-provoking symbolism. This intriguing piece invites viewers to reflect on our collective vulnerability to unseen threats while appreciating art's ability to capture complex emotions through visual storytelling.
