EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Bring Out Your Dead, The Great Plague in London" takes us back to the haunting era of the 1660s. Created by an English School artist from the 19th century, this piece captures the grim reality of one of history's deadliest pandemics. The image showcases a bellringer standing amidst a desolate London street, his face etched with sorrow and lament. In his hand, he holds a large bell that once echoed through bustling neighborhoods but now tolls for death. Shut windows and empty houses bear witness to the fear that has gripped the city as bodies pile up on carts nearby. The Great Plague ravaged London during this time, leaving behind a trail of devastation and despair. Fires burned incessantly to cleanse infected areas while families mourned their loved ones lost to illness. The air was thick with grief as people desperately pleaded for help - "bring out your dead". Through this artwork, we are transported into a world where life hangs by a thread and hope seems distant. It serves as both a reminder of our collective vulnerability in times of crisis and an homage to those who suffered during this dark chapter in history. As we gaze upon this print today, let it be a testament to resilience and strength in the face of adversity – reminding us never to take our health or freedom for granted.
