EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Outbreak of the plague in London, 1641" offers a haunting glimpse into the devastating impact of one of history's deadliest pandemics. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 17th century, this print depicts the stark contrast between how plague victims were treated in London compared to the rest of England during that time. Taken from Walter George Bell's book "The Great Plague in London in 1665" published by The Bodley Head in 1924, this illustration showcases scenes of both compassion and cruelty. In the bustling cityscape of London, we witness acts of charity and philanthropy as individuals extend their hands to help those suffering from this merciless disease. However, amidst these green pastures and countryside landscapes lies a darker reality – scenes depicting immense pain and suffering endured by countless individuals afflicted with illness. The woodcut print serves as a reminder not only of the physical toll inflicted upon its victims but also highlights society's response to such catastrophic events. It captures both hope and despair within its intricate details, shedding light on an era marked by epidemic outbreaks and widespread contagion. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, it prompts us to reflect on our own experiences with illness and reminds us that even amidst darkness, there is always room for compassion and resilience.
