EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mysterious epidemic in Berlin" captures a moment of chaos and concern on the streets of early 20th century Berlin. In this vividly colored lithograph, we see a man collapsing in the midst of bustling bystanders, all witnessing the alarming outbreak unfold before their eyes. The image tells a story of mystery and fear as an unknown illness sweeps through the city. It was later discovered that this epidemic was caused by poisoning from cheap schnapps contaminated with methylated spirit. The consequences are evident as people gather around, police officers rush to aid, and concerned faces reflect the gravity of the situation. This artwork not only serves as a historical record but also highlights the vulnerability of society when faced with unexpected health crises. The artist's attention to detail brings forth emotions ranging from shock to empathy, reminding us how fragile our well-being can be. Through this powerful visual narrative, we are reminded of the importance of public health measures and responsible consumption practices. This photograph print is not just an artistic representation; it serves as a reminder that even in times past, communities had to face challenges similar to those we encounter today. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, let us remember that history has shown us resilience and progress in overcoming epidemics. May it inspire us to continue working towards healthier futures for ourselves and future generations alike.
