EDITORS COMMENTS
This and thought-provoking print captures a vivid caricature of Parisians dealing with the terrifying presence of rabid dogs in the mid-19th century. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this color lithograph offers a glimpse into the chaotic and dangerous reality faced by the people of Paris during that time. The image portrays a scene filled with panic and desperation as individuals attempt to protect themselves from these diseased animals. The exaggerated features and expressions on their faces highlight their fear and anxiety. It is evident that this was not just a mere inconvenience but rather a grave threat to public health. Intriguingly, this artwork also sheds light on the role of pharmacists in combating such epidemics. The inclusion of "Ordre National des Pharmaciens" suggests their involvement in finding solutions for dealing with rabies. Perhaps they were responsible for distributing medicine or developing poison to control the spread of disease among both humans and animals. As we admire this historical piece, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of medical advancements and public health measures. It prompts us to reflect on our own experiences with pandemics, highlighting the importance of staying vigilant against infectious diseases while appreciating those who work tirelessly to keep us safe.
