EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting print captures the devastating outbreak of cholera among Turkish troops at Catalca, Turkey during the First Balkan War in 1912. The color lithograph, created by French School artists, depicts a scene of horror and despair as the grim reaper looms over rows of dead soldiers who have fallen victim to this deadly epidemic. The image serves as an allegory for death itself, with the scythe-wielding figure representing the inevitable fate that awaits those afflicted by cholera. The Ottoman Empire is depicted in turmoil, grappling with disease and its consequences on its military forces. The bodies strewn across the landscape serve as a stark reminder of the toll that cholera takes on human life. This outbreak was not only a tragedy for Turkey but also had implications for Europe and the Middle East due to its contagious nature. In this depiction, there is no escape from sickness and suffering. It highlights both the physical toll on individuals and communities affected by infectious diseases like cholera. The presence of Asklepios, symbolizing medicine and healthcare, suggests efforts to combat this epidemic but also underscores their limitations in face of such devastation. This print serves as a chilling reminder of past pandemics while emphasizing our ongoing need for medical advancements and public health measures to prevent future outbreaks.
