EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Cholera at Toulon, French Naval Establishment in the Port" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Alexandre Brun in 1884 for The Illustrated London News, this print offers a glimpse into the devastating impact of cholera on the French naval establishment. In this scene, we see an array of ships and boats docked at the port of Toulon. The architecture of the naval buildings stands tall against the backdrop of Fort Faron and Fort Coudon. However, amidst this picturesque setting lies a somber reality - an outbreak of cholera. Officers clad in their uniforms can be seen attending to their duties while grappling with this deadly epidemic. The image portrays not only the chaos caused by disease but also highlights how health measures were implemented during that time. The presence of Jupiter, a tugboat used for transportation purposes, adds another layer to this narrative. It symbolizes both hope and despair as it shuttles troops and supplies between various locations affected by cholera. Through its intricate details and historical context, this engraving captures a pivotal moment when epidemics posed great challenges to military establishments. It serves as a reminder of our collective resilience in times of crisis and underscores the importance placed on maintaining public health even within highly structured institutions like navies around Europe.
