Lord, have mercy on London. This contemporary English woodcut captures the devastating impact of the Great Plague of 1665. The black and white photo depicts another haunting image titled "Lord Have Mercy Upon Us: The Plague in London. " As we gaze upon these engravings, it becomes evident that this deadly disease brought immense suffering to the city. Corpse bearers during the plague are depicted in an engraving, a grim reminder of the countless lives lost. Another engraving titled "Peste de Jaffa" serves as a chilling testament to how plagues were not limited to one location or time period. In a woodcut from 1641, we witness the outbreak of the plague in London, and is reminiscent of scenes described in historical accounts - streets filled with fear and despair as people grappled with this merciless affliction. "The Four Horsemen, " portrayed in a woodcut from 1497-98, symbolize death and destruction – an eerie foreshadowing of what was to come during this dark chapter in history. "Turbulently towards the doors there was suddenly a fall between cries and cries. . " A color lithograph vividly portrays chaos and panic gripping London during those fateful years. It encapsulates both tragedy and desperation felt by its inhabitants. "Londons Charity, the Countrys Cruelty, " captured through an engraving from 1641, highlights society's response to such calamities - acts of kindness juxtaposed against indifference or even cruelty. The somber scene depicted in "Burying the Dead at Holy Well Mount" shows us just how overwhelming it must have been for communities struggling to cope with burying their loved ones amidst mass casualties. Finally, "Compassion, " represented through a lithograph titled "An Incident of the Plague in London, " reminds us that even amidst darkness, humanity can still find moments of empathy and care for one another.
