Protection from Mosquitoes in the Colonies - A Historical Snapshot
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Protection from mosquitoes in the colonies" offers a fascinating glimpse into an era when combating malaria was of utmost importance. Captured by an anonymous French artist around the 20th century, this color lithograph showcases a comical yet thought-provoking scene. In this image, we see a plump gentleman comfortably nestled within his bed draped with an elaborate mosquito net. The exaggerated caricature highlights the desperate measures taken to shield oneself from these disease-carrying pests prevalent in colonial regions. With closed eyes and a content expression on his face, it is evident that he has found solace under this protective barrier. The artwork serves as a reminder of the significant impact malaria had on colonial life during that time. It sheds light on how individuals resorted to innovative solutions like mosquito nets to safeguard their health and well-being while residing in these territories. Displayed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this historical piece captures not only the essence of daily life but also reflects society's determination to combat diseases such as malaria. As we admire this print today, let us appreciate the advancements made since then and acknowledge those who paved the way for our modern understanding of disease prevention and protection against mosquitoes.
