EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Spread of the Great Plague of London, 1665" takes us back to a dark period in history. Created by an English School artist in the 20th century, this artwork is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into one of London's most devastating epidemics. The image depicts the city during the outbreak of the Great Plague in 1665, as described in Walter George Bell's book "The Great Plague in London". The black and white illustration showcases the progress and spread of this deadly disease that plagued Europe during the seventeenth century. With intricate detail, we see a diagram-like representation of London with statistics and numbers indicating areas affected by the plague. The city appears engulfed by death and despair as people succumb to illness. This historical piece serves as both a reminder of human vulnerability and our resilience against such catastrophic events. Through its powerful imagery, this lithograph transports us to a time when medicine was limited, health was precarious, and fear loomed over every corner. It encapsulates not only an important chapter in London's history but also reflects on broader themes such as mortality, public health crises, and societal responses to pandemics. As we observe this artwork from Fine Art Finder courtesy Bridgeman Images, it serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst darkness there is always hope for progress towards better healthcare systems that protect communities from future outbreaks.
