EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a fascinating piece of history from 1915, showcasing the intertwining of disease and superstition in the form of Smallpox / Superstition. The image depicts Yuo-hoa-long, known as the God who happily terminates the disease, symbolizing hope and relief for those suffering from smallpox.
In a time when medical knowledge was limited, superstitions often played a significant role in how people perceived and dealt with ailments such as smallpox. Yuo-hoa-long represented a beacon of comfort and healing for many, offering solace in times of uncertainty and fear.
The intricate details in this print highlight the cultural significance of traditional beliefs surrounding illness and divine intervention. It serves as a reminder of how historical perspectives on medicine were shaped by both scientific understanding and spiritual beliefs.
As we reflect on this powerful image, we are reminded of the resilience of humanity in facing challenges like disease throughout history. Smallpox / Superstition is not just a visual representation but also a window into the complex relationship between faith, folklore, and medical practices that have shaped our understanding of health over time.
Mary Evans Picture Library has once again provided us with an invaluable glimpse into our past through this thought-provoking print.
