EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cholera is Coming, 1898" by Steinlen depicts a haunting scene that transports us back to a time of fear and uncertainty. The image showcases the artist's incredible talent in capturing the raw emotions surrounding an impending epidemic. In this powerful composition, we see a group of people fleeing from an unseen threat. Their faces are etched with terror, their bodies contorted in panic as they desperately try to escape the clutches of an invisible enemy. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke - from the disheveled hats and coats worn by these frightened individuals, to the skeletal figure wielding a scythe in the background symbolizing death itself. The atmosphere created by Steinlen is one of imminent danger and despair. It serves as a stark reminder of humanity's vulnerability when faced with widespread disease outbreaks like cholera. This print not only captures historical significance but also highlights our collective struggle against contagious illnesses throughout history. Displayed at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, this artwork stands as a testament to both artistic brilliance and societal reflection. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking piece, it compels us to contemplate our own mortality while reminding us of the importance of medicine, health, and taking necessary precautions during times of epidemics or pandemics.
