EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the various methods used to exterminate rats, a common pest during that time period. The detailed illustration depicts different tools and techniques such as poison, traps, and other means of killing these rodents. The artist has skillfully captured the grim reality of dealing with a rat infestation, showing dead rats scattered around in a scene of pest control. Each method is carefully depicted, highlighting the ingenuity and desperation of people trying to rid their homes and communities of these vermin. Intriguingly morbid yet historically significant, this print serves as a window into the past when rodent control was a serious issue for public health. It reflects the harsh realities faced by people living in crowded urban areas where rats were carriers of disease and destruction. As we look at this engraving today, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of pest control technology and practices. However, it also serves as a reminder that some problems never truly go away - just evolve over time. This piece is not only an artistic representation but also a historical document shedding light on our ongoing battle against pests throughout history.
