EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cholera in Russia: The Troubles in Astrakhan" takes us back to a tumultuous time in history, specifically the 6th of August 1892. Captured by Henri Meyer, this colour lithograph from Le Petit Journal offers a haunting glimpse into the devastating effects of cholera on the city of Astrakhan. In this image, chaos and despair intertwine as we witness the fight against an invisible enemy. The scene is filled with scenes of fighting, death, and sickness that have gripped the population. People are seen dying and struggling for their lives while others desperately seek medical aid amidst panic-stricken streets. The outbreak has thrown Astrakhan into disarray as its residents grapple with an epidemic that threatens their very existence. This visual narrative serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life and how disease can disrupt even the most stable societies. Through this historical lens, we gain insight into not only the physical toll but also the emotional turmoil experienced during such outbreaks. It showcases humanity's resilience in times of crisis while shedding light on our collective struggle to combat illness through medicine. As we observe this powerful image today, it serves as a poignant reminder to appreciate advancements made in public health over time while acknowledging those who fought valiantly against epidemics like cholera throughout history.
