EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Praying for Deliverance from Cholera" artist Henry Woods transports us back to a time when epidemics ravaged communities, and prayer was seen as a powerful weapon against disease. The image, originally published in The Graphic on October 4th, 1873, captures the essence of collective fear and hope during the cholera outbreak. The scene depicts a group of individuals huddled together in fervent supplication. Their faces etched with worry and desperation, they turn their gaze upwards towards the heavens. In this moment of crisis, prayer becomes their common language; an act that unites them in seeking divine intervention. Woods masterfully conveys the intensity of emotions through his intricate engravings. Each line seems to echo their plea for deliverance from this deadly scourge. As we observe this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of humanity's enduring resilience and unwavering faith even amidst adversity. This print serves as a poignant reminder that throughout history, communities have turned to prayer during times of crisis. It highlights the power of collective belief and our innate desire for protection and healing. Today, while facing different challenges than those depicted here, we can still draw inspiration from these past struggles as we navigate our own uncertain times. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an invaluable glimpse into our shared human experience through art - reminding us that even in darkness there is always room for hope and unity.
