EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical cartoon, created by Robert Seymour in 1832, depicts the inadequate official response to the cholera epidemic that ravaged London during that time. The lithograph captures a scene where members of the London Board of Health are depicted as hunters on a search for cases of cholera. They are shown armed with shovels and ladders, symbolizing their futile attempts to combat the outbreak. The image portrays a stark contrast between the upper class officials and the impoverished slum dwellers affected by the epidemic. While men from higher social classes engage in this comical hunt, oblivious to their surroundings, an infectious stench fills the air and pigs roam freely through dirt-filled streets. Seymour's cartoon serves as a political commentary on both the incompetence of those in power and society's disregard for public health issues affecting marginalized communities. It highlights how little was done at that time to address such a devastating disease outbreak. This historical print is not only visually striking but also provides valuable insight into early efforts made to tackle infectious diseases like cholera. It reminds us of our progress in public health over nearly two centuries since this epidemic occurred while serving as a reminder that there is still work to be done in ensuring equitable access to healthcare for all.
