EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting wood engraving from an American newspaper of 1868 captures the devastating impact of the cholera epidemic that swept through Missouri. The image depicts a grim scene along the Mississippi River near St. Louis, where bodies of cholera victims are being washed downstream. It is a chilling reminder of the toll this illness took on communities during that time. The print showcases the desperate efforts to transport these unfortunate victims to their final resting place. Men row in a dinghy, carefully maneuvering among floating corpses as they navigate the treacherous waters. The somber mood is further emphasized by the presence of caskets, symbolizing both mourning and hope for containment. This artwork serves as a historical testament to not only the physical consequences but also the emotional trauma caused by infectious diseases like cholera in America's past. It highlights how maritime transportation played a role in spreading infections across regions and underscores society's struggle against such epidemics. As we reflect upon this poignant image, it reminds us of our progress in medicine and public health over time while urging us never to forget those who suffered during these dark periods in history. This wood engraving stands as a powerful tribute to all those affected by cholera and other similar illnesses throughout human civilization.
