EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a haunting scene from history, depicting animals stricken by the devastating cattle plague known as Rinderpest. Taken in 1868, the image showcases members of the New York Board of Health examining these afflicted creatures with solemn expressions on their faces. The photograph, part of a private collection, was originally featured in Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper during that time. It serves as a grim reminder of the catastrophic impact this disease had on agriculture and farming communities during the era. The farm animals depicted here are symbols of livelihoods lost and hardships endured by farmers and ranchers. The composition evokes a sense of despair and mortality, emphasizing the severity of this epidemic. The viewer is confronted with images of death and dying livestock, highlighting the tragic consequences brought upon by this plague. It also underscores the importance of disease control measures to prevent further spread among farm animals. Photographer Ken Welsh has skillfully captured both the historical significance and emotional weight behind this moment in agricultural history. Through his lens, we are transported back to an era where sickness plagued not only humans but also our animal companions who played such crucial roles in our daily lives. This thought-provoking print serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst progress and advancements in medicine, diseases can still wreak havoc on our most vulnerable populations if left unchecked.
