EDITORS COMMENTS
The haunting image captured in "Allegory of the Plague in Manchuria" serves as a chilling reminder of the devastating impact of disease. This cover illustration from Le Petit Journal, dated 19th February 1911, depicts a scene engulfed in darkness and despair. The vibrant colours of the lithograph bring to life the grim reaper himself, standing tall amidst an epidemic-ridden landscape. Symbolism abounds within this artwork - death personified by a skeleton wielding a scythe, representing both sickness and mortality. The Chinese setting alludes to the specific outbreak that occurred in Manchuria during that time period. It is through these powerful visual cues that we are transported back to an era plagued by illness and suffering. This print evokes feelings of fear and helplessness as it captures the essence of an uncontrollable contagion sweeping through communities. The skeletal figure looms over scenes filled with sick individuals, emphasizing their vulnerability and impending doom. While unsettling, this artwork also serves as a testament to human resilience and our ongoing battle against diseases throughout history. It reminds us of the importance of medicine, health practices, and collective efforts to combat such outbreaks. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it stands not only as a representation of past struggles but also as a call for continued vigilance against future pandemics.
