EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a chilling scene from the Great Plague of London in 1665. The image showcases the manner in which dead bodies were buried at Holy-well mount during this dreadful epidemic that ravaged England's capital city. From a rare old print, preserved within the International Library of Famous Literature and published around 1900, this illustration offers a glimpse into one of history's darkest chapters. In the foreground, we see a desolate mount covered with numerous lifeless bodies awaiting burial. The sheer number of corpses is overwhelming, emphasizing the magnitude of devastation caused by this deadly disease. The burial process appears hasty yet methodical as workers labor tirelessly to lay these unfortunate souls to rest. The setting itself exudes an eerie atmosphere - Holy-well mount stands as a solemn testament to human suffering and resilience amidst unimaginable tragedy. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the immense impact that epidemics can have on society throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to seventeenth-century London, where fear and despair gripped every corner. It is through images like these that we gain insight into our past and honor those who endured such harrowing times. Let us remember their sacrifice and strive for better health outcomes in our present day and age.
