EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a dark chapter in Portugal's history - the outbreak of bubonic plague in 1899. As the population grappled with this deadly epidemic, desperate measures were taken to try and contain the spread of the disease. In a bid to destroy the source of the trouble, infected homes were set ablaze by residents in hopes of stopping the plague in its tracks.
The image serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact that plagues and epidemics can have on communities throughout history. The sight of homes burning to ash is a chilling testament to the fear and desperation felt by those who lived through this terrifying time.
Despite advancements in medical science since 1899, outbreaks like these continue to pose a threat to public health around the world. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared vulnerability when faced with infectious diseases, urging us to remain vigilant and prepared for future outbreaks.
Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this historical moment for posterity, allowing viewers to reflect on past struggles while also recognizing how far we have come in combating such deadly threats.
