EDITORS COMMENTS
. This 19th-century engraving titled "Visit of the Emperor of the French to the Cholera Wards of the Hotel Dieu, France, 1865" takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in history. The image showcases an illustrative technique that beautifully captures this historic event. Intriguingly retro-styled and vintage, this engraving transports us to a bygone era when epidemics like cholera plagued societies. It depicts a visit by none other than Napoleon III himself - known as "the Emperor of the French" - to witness firsthand the devastating impact of cholera on patients at Hotel Dieu. The Victorian-era arts and culture are evident in every detail meticulously engraved within this artwork. From elaborate clothing worn by both medical staff and visitors alike, down to architectural elements that exude grandeur and elegance. More than just an artistic representation, this engraving serves as a reminder of compassion during times of crisis. It immortalizes an act where political power meets empathy as Napoleon III personally engages with those affected by cholera. This historic art piece not only reflects societal concerns but also highlights how leaders can empathize with their people's suffering. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Liszt Collection's Arkheia series, we are transported through time and space –
