EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by artist Melton Prior in 1898, transports us back to a time of great turmoil and fear. Titled "House-to-house visitation during the plague in Bombay, India" it depicts an incredibly significant moment in history. In this powerful image, we witness the president of the local committee and an Indian doctor embarking on their daily round through the native quarter. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, they navigate the streets with determination and compassion amidst a devastating outbreak of disease. The Victorian era was marked by numerous health crises, but none as severe as the plague that ravaged Bombay. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both human suffering and resilience during such trying times. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, we are reminded of the bravery exhibited by these individuals who risked their own well-being to provide aid to those afflicted by illness. The crowded street serves as a stark contrast to our modern world's understanding of social distancing measures. Melton Prior's engraving captures not only a historical event but also highlights important themes such as public health, politics, and cultural diversity. It is through prints like these that we can gain insight into past struggles while appreciating how far we have come in combating infectious diseases today.
