EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Plague at Vienna, administering the Last Sacrament to Dr Mueller from outside the Window of the Plague Ward of the Epidemic Hospital" transports us back to a haunting moment in history. Created by Henry Marriott Paget and part of a private collection, this print depicts a scene that is both poignant and harrowing. Set against the backdrop of an epidemic hospital during one of Europe's devastating plagues, we witness an austere yet deeply moving act. Through the window of the plague ward, we see Dr Mueller receiving his last sacrament from a priest standing outside. The desperation and urgency are palpable as time seems to stand still within these walls. Paget's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched into this engraving tells its own story. The somber atmosphere is heightened by dim lighting and shadows cast upon weary faces. It serves as a stark reminder of humanity's vulnerability in times of crisis. "The Plague at Vienna" not only captures historical events but also evokes universal emotions such as fear, faith, and compassion. It invites viewers to reflect on our shared human experience throughout centuries plagued by epidemics. As we gaze upon this image captured over a century ago, let us remember those who have faced similar trials before us with courage and resilience. May it serve as a testament to our collective strength in overcoming adversity while reminding us never to take for granted our present-day blessings in health and well-being.
