EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "The Plague of London (1665)" transports us back to a dark and tumultuous period in history. Created by John Franklin in 1855, this engraving was originally published in William Harrison Ainsworth's novel Old Saint Paul's in 1841. In the image, we witness a dramatic scene unfolding on the streets of London during the plague outbreak. The central figure is Leonard Holt, who defiantly refuses to comply with the Lord Mayor's orders to kill all dogs as a preventive measure against the spread of the disease. Standing tall and resolute, he brandishes his walking stick threateningly at an imposing blacksmith. However, our attention is immediately drawn to Bell - Mike Macascree's loyal canine companion - whom Holt valiantly protects from harm. This act of defiance showcases both Holt's compassion for animals and his rebellion against authority during these desperate times. Franklin masterfully captures the tense atmosphere through intricate details such as facial expressions and body language. The viewer can almost feel the palpable fear and uncertainty that permeated every corner of London during this devastating epidemic. "The Plague of London (1665)" serves not only as a visual representation but also as a powerful reminder of human resilience amidst adversity. It reminds us that even in times of great despair, acts of kindness and courage can prevail over darkness.
