This haunting engraving from "The Catholic, religious store" in 1845 captures the grim reality of the cholera epidemic that ravaged communities during the 19th century. The scene depicts the death of a cholera victim, surrounded by priests and religious figures who offer prayers and comfort in their final moments.
The detailed engraving showcases the desperation and sorrow of those affected by this deadly disease, highlighting the importance of faith and spiritual guidance during times of crisis. The somber atmosphere is palpable as onlookers gather around the bed of the dying individual, emphasizing the devastating impact of illness on both individuals and society as a whole.
