EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the devastating impact of the Plague, also known as the Black Death, during the Great Plague of London in 1665-1666. In this scene, a passerby offers water to a dying man, highlighting the desperation and suffering that plagued European cities for centuries. The black and white engraving depicts a grim reality of epidemic contagion and pandemic illness caused by the Yersinia pestis bacterium. The image transports us back to a time when sickness and death were rampant, leaving communities devastated and lives lost. As we gaze upon this historical illustration, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the resilience of humanity in times of crisis. The old 17th-century setting in England serves as a stark reminder of our shared history with disease outbreaks and the importance of learning from past experiences. Through Ken Welsh's powerful lens, we are confronted with images that evoke both fear and compassion. This archival piece serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring impact that plagues have had on societies throughout history. Let us not forget those who suffered during these dark times, but instead strive to prevent such tragedies from occurring again in our modern world.
