EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting image of a cholera patient in the late 19th century, showcasing the grim reality of this devastating disease. The patient is depicted in a typical cholera attitude, displaying the physical and emotional toll that this illness takes on its victims. The monochromatic engraving, colored with shades of despair and sickness, transports us back to a time when medicine was still grappling with understanding and combating contagious diseases like cholera. This French medical book from c1890 serves as an important historical artifact, shedding light on the state of healthcare during that era. The portrait evokes a sense of desperation and helplessness as we witness the suffering endured by those afflicted with cholera. The contamination and epidemic nature of this disease are palpable through every line etched into this print. As we gaze upon this powerful image, it reminds us not only of our progress in modern medicine but also highlights how far we have come in preventing such widespread outbreaks today. It serves as a stark reminder that even though centuries have passed since then, diseases continue to shape our lives and societies. Through its vivid portrayal, this print invites us to reflect on the resilience of humanity in overcoming health challenges throughout history while urging us to remain vigilant against future epidemics.
