EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print from Universal Images Group (UIG) captures the devastating impact of smallpox in the late 19th century. Taken from a French medical book dating back to around 1890, it serves as a stark reminder of the relentless battle against this deadly disease. The image portrays an anonymous smallpox victim, their face marred by painful pustules and scars that symbolize the horrors endured during an epidemic. The viewer is confronted with the harsh reality faced by countless individuals who fell victim to this highly contagious virus. Smallpox, once rampant across the globe, claimed millions of lives throughout history. This photograph encapsulates both its destructive power and humanity's unwavering determination to combat it through advancements in medicine. As we gaze upon this poignant snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how far we have come in our fight against infectious diseases. The progress made since c1890 is evident today as smallpox has been eradicated globally—a testament to mankind's resilience and collective efforts. Let us not forget those who suffered at the hands of this merciless illness nor underestimate the importance of vaccination programs that continue to protect future generations from similar plights. This print stands as a powerful tribute to all victims while serving as a solemn reminder that vigilance remains crucial in safeguarding public health worldwide.
