The Mad Dog Epidemic. Scene on an uptown avenue in New York City, January 1886
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of the chaos and fear that gripped the city during a rabies outbreak. This contemporary American wood engraving transports us back to late 19th century Manhattan, where the streets are bustling with people adorned in fashionable winter attire. In this scene, we witness a mother and her two daughters caught in the midst of this terrifying epidemic. The girls clutch their dolls tightly as they run frantically down the sidewalk, their faces etched with sheer panic. The mother's coat billows behind her as she desperately tries to shield her family from harm. The uniformed NYPD officers can be seen patrolling the street, attempting to maintain order amidst the madness. Their presence provides some semblance of security for those witnessing this alarming spectacle. The image captures not only the physical danger posed by these mad dogs but also reflects society's collective anxiety about this mysterious illness known as hydrophobia or rabies. Every passerby on that avenue feels vulnerable and exposed to an invisible threat lurking within man's best friend. This print serves as a haunting reminder of how quickly life can be upended by unforeseen circumstances. It stands as a testament to our resilience in times of crisis and reminds us never to take our safety for granted.
