EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of The Harbour at Hamburg, captured in 1892, presents a striking image of the bustling port city during a time of crisis. With a large number of ships anchored along the quayside, this photograph is a testament to Hamburg's significance as a major hub for international trade and commerce during the late 19th century. However, beneath the surface of this vibrant scene, a serious health crisis was unfolding. Cholera had broken out in Hamburg, forcing the halt of normal shipping operations. The Illustrated London News, a leading weekly newspaper of the time, sent their special artist, J. Schonberg, to document the situation in Hamburg. This photograph is part of an article that was published in the December 1892 issue of the newspaper, which included Schonberg's sketches and reports. The image offers a unique perspective of the harbour, providing a bird's-eye view of the ships and the quayside. Despite the challenges posed by the cholera outbreak, the harbour continued to be a hive of activity. The ships, numbering 21 in this view, remained anchored, waiting for the all-clear signal before they could resume their journeys. The import and export of goods were temporarily disrupted, but the resilience of the port city and its people shone through. This historical photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into Hamburg's past, providing a valuable record of a time when the city's economic and health fortunes were intertwined. The photograph is a reminder of the challenges and complexities of life in the late 19th century, and the role that ports and shipping played in shaping the world we live in today.
