EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating outbreak of rinderpest in Holland during the year 1745. In this scene, we see a group of distressed farmers and their landlord engaged in a serious discussion amidst a haunting backdrop of dead cattle piled up before them. Rinderpest, an infectious viral disease known for its high mortality rates among livestock herds, plagued the agricultural community for centuries until its eradication in the 21st century. Dutch engraver Jan Smit skillfully recreated this historical event with remarkable detail and emotion. The illustration transports us back to a time when farming was not only livelihood but also survival. It serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by these hardworking individuals who depended on their animals for sustenance and prosperity. The image portrays both male and female figures, highlighting that everyone within the rural community was affected by this devastating illness. The horses standing nearby symbolize not only companionship but also loss, as they too fell victim to this contagious disease. Ken Welsh's artwork beautifully captures the essence of this tragic period in history - one marked by sickness, despair, and resilience. As we observe this black-and-white depiction from our modern perspective, it serves as a testament to human progress and our ability to overcome even the most formidable plagues that once threatened our existence.
