EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, published in 1880, transports us back to the mid-14th century when Europe was ravaged by a devastating pestilence. The ancient map depicted here offers a glimpse into the medical condition and cartography of that time, showcasing the areas affected by this horrific epidemic. From Western Asia to North Africa, this topographic map reveals the extent of its reach. The image itself is an engraved masterpiece, capturing the essence of European culture during the Middle Ages. Its horizontal layout allows for a comprehensive view of coastal features along the Mediterranean Sea - an important trade route connecting various civilizations. As we delve into history through this antique print, we are reminded of the grim reality faced by our ancestors. Death lurked around every corner as illness spread like wildfire across continents. The contour drawing emphasizes both the geographical landscape and ethnocultural history intertwined within these regions. Although devoid of people in this particular rendition, one can almost imagine how bustling cities and once-thriving communities succumbed to despair during those dark times. The unpleasant smell and ulcerous wounds associated with this pestilence haunt our imagination as we contemplate its impact on society. Intriguingly preserved through photography in 2015, this lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of human vulnerability throughout history – reminding us to appreciate our present while acknowledging the lessons learned from our past encounters with death and disease.
