EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting lithograph, titled "The Cholera Epidemic in Japan, the Removal of the Dead under Police Supervision" captures a somber scene during a devastating time in Japanese history. Created by Charles Edwin Fripp in 1895, this print depicts the aftermath of a cholera outbreak that plagued Japan during that era. In this powerful image, we witness the grim reality faced by the Japanese people as they grappled with this deadly disease. Under police supervision, bodies are being removed from the streets and transported on a wooden tub-like stretcher. The presence of policemen highlights their role in maintaining order and ensuring public health amidst chaos. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; he portrays not only the physical removal of deceased individuals but also conveys an atmosphere filled with grief and despair. Through his skilled engraving technique, Fripp captures both individual stories and collective suffering. "The Cholera Epidemic in Japan" serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's vulnerability to epidemics throughout history. It sheds light on how communities come together even during times of great distress to combat such crises. This artwork stands as a testament to resilience and underscores society's ongoing efforts to overcome adversity through unity and compassion. As we contemplate this lithograph today, it prompts us to reflect on our own experiences with pandemics while recognizing those who have tirelessly worked towards healing and rebuilding societies affected by such tragedies.
