EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Gustave Doré depicts the Fifth Plague of Egypt as described in the Old Testament's Book of Exodus. In this biblical episode, God sends the Murrain of Beast, a livestock disease that devastates the herds and flocks of the Egyptians. The image portrays a chaotic scene, with animals lying dead in the fields and their distraught owners in despair. The French artist, known for his intricate and detailed works, masterfully captures the sense of loss and despair that must have gripped the Egyptian people during this time. The Murrain of Beast is a powerful reminder of the impact of disease on livestock and agriculture, an issue that remains relevant even in the 21st century. In the 19th century, when this engraving was created, the world was experiencing its own livestock diseases, such as rinderpest and anthrax, which caused widespread devastation and economic loss. This engraving is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and convey the human experience, even in the most challenging of circumstances. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of medicine and public health in protecting our livestock and food sources from disease outbreaks. The intricately detailed image invites us to reflect on the historical significance of this biblical episode and the lessons it holds for us today.
