The Coffin Makers Carousal - A Historical Celebration of Revelry and Disease
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "The Coffin Makers Carousal" offers a fascinating glimpse into the celebrations and hardships of 17th-century London. Created by John Franklin, it serves as an illustration for William Harrison Ainsworth's novel "Old Saint Pauls" and depicts a scene of merrymaking amidst the backdrop of the bubonic plague. In this lively image, we witness a group of drunken revelers toasting with their pipes in hand. The carousing coffin makers are depicted engaging in raucous festivities, seemingly oblivious to the devastating effects of the epidemic that ravaged their city. The artist skillfully captures both the exuberance and tragedy of this historical period. As smoke swirls around them, symbolizing both celebration and impending doom, we are reminded of how alcohol provided temporary solace during times of great hardship. "The Coffin Makers Carousal" serves as a poignant reminder that even in times marked by disease and death, human resilience finds expression through communal gatherings. It also highlights how literature has long served as a means to reflect on societal challenges while offering escapism from harsh realities. This engraving invites us to contemplate our own history while acknowledging that celebrations can arise even amidst adversity. It is through such reflections that we gain insight into our shared past and find inspiration for facing present-day challenges with courage and unity.
