EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1902, titled "India. Drought causes epidemics. Food distribution" illustrates the dire consequences of a devastating drought in India during that time period. The engraving, skillfully created by Antonio Beltrame and published in "La domenica del Corriere" on February 26th, 1902, captures the harsh reality faced by the Indian population. In this image, we see a man surrounded by an atmosphere of despair and desperation. His weary expression reflects the immense challenges brought about by the drought-induced epidemics ravaging his community. As he stands amidst a crowd of people eagerly awaiting food distribution, it becomes evident that access to basic sustenance has become scarce due to crop failures caused by prolonged dry spells. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its portrayal of a specific moment in time but also in shedding light on broader issues such as public health and social inequality prevalent during the early 20th century in India. It serves as a reminder of how environmental factors can have profound impacts on human lives and societies. Antonio Beltrame's masterful use of color lithography adds depth and emotion to this powerful image, making it all the more impactful for viewers today. This print is an invaluable piece that invites contemplation on past struggles while urging us to reflect upon our own responsibilities towards addressing present-day challenges related to climate change and global inequities.
