EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print takes us back to the 1800s, showcasing the Staten Island Quarantine Facility in all its historical significance. Built in 1799, this facility served as a crucial space for quarantining and caring for yellow fever patients during that era. As we delve deeper into its history, we learn that by the 1850s, anyone displaying signs of disease upon arrival on newly arrived ships was immediately isolated within these walls. However, it was not all smooth sailing for this quarantine facility. In 1858, local opposition from Staten Island launched an attack on these very grounds, sparking what would later be known as the Staten Island Quarantine War. This incident further highlights the tensions surrounding public health measures during that time. Keith Lance's expertly captured image transports us back to this pivotal moment in history. The composition allows us to appreciate both the architectural grandeur of the facility and its hauntingly evocative atmosphere. Through his lens, Lance skillfully captures a sense of isolation and resilience intertwined within these aged walls. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of our collective struggle against infectious diseases throughout history and how communities have come together to overcome adversity. It serves as a poignant reminder of our past while urging us to reflect on our present circumstances and work towards building a healthier future for all.
