Cholera in Egypt
Scene in the courtyard of a house in Cairo. The patients were laid in the courtyard partly because of the cooler temperatures and also because the occupants were afraid of infection. The particular strain of cholera found in Egypt was not the same as the one found in India. It was thought to have originated from oxen carcasses left unburied at the banks of the Nile

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a chilling scene in the courtyard of a house in Cairo during the cholera outbreak in Egypt. The patients, suffering from this deadly disease, were laid out in the courtyard for two main reasons - to benefit from the cooler temperatures and also due to fear of infection spreading inside the house. It is noted that this strain of cholera found in Egypt was distinct from the one commonly seen in India, with its origins traced back to oxen carcasses left unburied along the banks of the Nile.
The image offers a glimpse into a dark chapter of Egyptian history, where families were torn apart by illness and death loomed over every corner. The occupants' apprehension towards contracting cholera highlights the widespread panic and desperation that gripped society during this time.
As we reflect on this haunting photograph, let us remember those who suffered and perished during this epidemic. May it serve as a reminder of our vulnerability to infectious diseases and prompt us to appreciate advancements in public health that have since helped prevent such devastating outbreaks. This print is not just a snapshot frozen in time; it is an important piece of our shared history that should not be forgotten or overlooked.
