EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 19th century, we are transported to India during a time of great turmoil - the plague outbreak. The image depicts a scene at Khana, where a courageous lady doctor is diligently examining lady passengers. This powerful artwork, part of a private collection, sheds light on the devastating impact of the plague in India. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every line and stroke brings life to the characters and their surroundings. The lady doctor's determination and expertise are evident as she carefully examines each passenger, her face displaying both compassion and resolve. The women being examined appear anxious yet hopeful for answers amidst this dire situation. This illustration originally appeared in The Graphic on April 3rd, 1897 - an era when visual storytelling through newspapers was gaining popularity. It serves as a reminder of how art can be used to educate and inform society about significant events like epidemics. Beyond its historical significance, this engraving also offers us glimpses into Indian culture during that period. We see traditional attire worn by both the doctor and her patients, highlighting the rich diversity of Indian fashion. As we contemplate this thought-provoking image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us remember those who fought tirelessly against infectious diseases throughout history. Their bravery continues to inspire us today as we navigate our own global health challenges.
