EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting photograph captures a print of "The Great Plague of London in 1665" an engraving by Edward Henry Corbould. The image takes us back to the dark days of one of history's deadliest epidemics, where death loomed over every corner. In the foreground, we see a cart filled with lifeless bodies, a chilling reminder of the devastating toll the plague took on London's population. A horse stands nearby, seemingly unaffected by the tragedy unfolding around it. The streets are eerily empty, save for a few figures who appear to be either dying or seeking refuge. The scene is set against the backdrop of an inn or pub, perhaps once bustling with activity but now abandoned due to fear and despair. The atmosphere is heavy with grief and uncertainty as people grapple with their mortality in the face of this merciless disease. Corbould's skillful engraving brings forth both historical accuracy and artistic expression, capturing not only the physical devastation caused by the plague but also its emotional impact on society. Through this powerful image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the horrors that unfolded during this tragic chapter in London's history. As we contemplate this photograph print from Fine Art Finder, let us remember those who lost their lives during this epidemic and reflect on our own resilience in times of adversity.
