EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Great Plague, pub. 1890" takes us back to a haunting chapter in English history. Created by the anonymous English School artist of the 19th century, this colour lithograph is part of a private collection and was published in George Routledge and Sons' book on Pictures of English History. Depicting the devastating outbreak of bubonic plague that struck London from 1664 to 1666, this image transports us to those dark times. The scene captures the grim reality with men burying corpses amidst a desolate wasteland. Dead carts filled with coffins are pulled by horses through the streets as bodies pile up for burial in mass graves known as plague pits. The artist's attention to detail is striking; every element conveys the horror and despair that engulfed London during these fateful years. From the driver guiding his cart through narrow alleys to an eerie beacon illuminating the night sky, each component adds depth and emotion to this historical moment. Notably, some figures are depicted partially or fully nude, symbolizing vulnerability and exposing humanity's raw struggle against such an unforgiving disease. This artistic choice serves as a powerful reminder of how death can strip away all pretenses. "The Great Plague, pub. 1890" invites viewers into a world plagued by fear and suffering but also highlights human resilience in times of crisis. It stands as both a testament to our shared history and a cautionary tale about pandemics that
