EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Troubles in Astrakhan" depicts a scene of chaos and despair during an outbreak of cholera in 19th century Russia. The colour lithograph, created by Henri Meyer and reproduced from the original illustration for Le Petit Journal, transports us to the heart of the riots that plagued Astrakhan. The image showcases a dome-shaped building as the backdrop for this intense confrontation between rioters. Fear and anguish are palpable on their faces as they clash against each other in a desperate battle against both disease and one another. The atmosphere is charged with violence, panic, and uncertainty. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness not only the physical conflict but also the psychological toll of this epidemic. As sickness spreads throughout Asia, anxiety grips every individual present in this tumultuous scene. It serves as a haunting reminder of how diseases can ravage communities, leaving them vulnerable to superstition and violence. Through this powerful visual narrative, we are reminded of the importance of medicine and healthcare in preserving our physical health amidst such epidemics. This print captures a moment frozen in time when Russians confront their worst fears while grappling with illness itself. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical masterpiece which continues to serve as a testament to human resilience during times of crisis.
