EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting engraving by John Franklin captures a somber moment in the midst of the devastating Plague of London in 1665. The scene depicts the lifeless body of Amabel Bloundel being solemnly carried from the Earl of Rochester's house to its final resting place in a dead cart for burial in a plague pit. The illustration, created for William Harrison Ainsworth's novel "Old Saint Paul's" and first published in 1841, evokes a sense of despair and sorrow that permeated London during this dark period. Franklin masterfully conveys the weightiness of the situation through his intricate engravings. Amidst the chaos and suffering caused by the plague, this image serves as a poignant reminder of human mortality and resilience. It transports us back to an era when death was an ever-present specter, lurking around every corner. Ainsworth's literature skillfully weaves together historical events with fictional characters, providing readers with a vivid depiction of life during one of London's most harrowing times. This engraving not only complements Ainsworth's storytelling but also stands on its own as a powerful visual representation. Franklin’s active involvement between 1800-1861 showcases his talent for capturing emotions through artistry. Through his meticulous attention to detail and composition, he brings forth an atmosphere that is both eerie and captivating. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to our collective ability to endure
