EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Street Scene in London during Great Plague, 1665" takes us back to a haunting chapter in history. Created by R. W. Matthews and part of a private collection, this print offers a glimpse into the devastating impact of the Great Plague on the streets of London. The image depicts a somber scene filled with despair and desperation. The narrow cobblestone street is lined with dilapidated buildings, their windows boarded up as if trying to shield themselves from the horrors outside. In every corner lie piles of bodies - victims claimed by the merciless plague that swept through the city. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; each figure tells its own story of suffering and loss. From grieving families clutching loved ones to lone figures wandering aimlessly amidst chaos, this composition captures both individual tragedy and collective grief. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for H. W Meikle's book "The Story of England". It serves as a powerful reminder not only of the immense human toll inflicted by disease but also of our resilience in times of adversity. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, let it serve as a testament to our shared past and a call for vigilance against future pandemics. May we never forget those who perished during these dark times and strive always to protect one another from such devastation again.
