EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration by Phiz (Hablot Knight Browne) for William Harrison Ainsworth's novel "Old Saint Pauls" we are transported back to the haunting era of the Plague of London in 1665. The engraving depicts a spine-chilling scene where Mike Macascree, a blind musician, unexpectedly emerges from the death cart on its way to the plague pit. As Chowles and the death cart attendants make their grim journey through the desolate streets, they suddenly find themselves paralyzed with terror as Macascree begins to play his instrument. Despite his blindness, his music resonates with an otherworldly power that sends shivers down their spines. The artist masterfully captures both fear and fascination in this image. The expressions on Chowles' face and those of the attendants reveal their sheer horror at encountering such an unexpected presence amidst the chaos of death surrounding them. Macascree's determination is evident as he fearlessly performs despite being surrounded by despair. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of how art can transport us to different periods in history and evoke powerful emotions. It encapsulates not only the horrors faced during one of London's darkest times but also highlights human resilience and creativity even in moments of unimaginable tragedy.
