EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a haunting scene from history, titled "The Plague. The Black Death". It showcases an imaginary city ravaged by the deadly disease that plagued Europe in the 17th century. Based on an earlier work by Pierre Mignard, this particular engraving was skillfully crafted by Gerard Audran. The image transports us to a time of immense suffering and despair. Within the city's narrow streets, we witness the devastating impact of the bubonic plague as people succumb to its merciless grip. Their anguished expressions and frail bodies serve as a stark reminder of the horrors endured during this dark period. As we delve into this historical archive, we are reminded of humanity's resilience in times of crisis. This illustration not only serves as a testament to our collective past but also highlights the crucial role medical advancements have played in combating infectious diseases throughout history. Welsh photographer Ken has masterfully captured this archival gem, preserving it for future generations to reflect upon and learn from. As we gaze upon this poignant depiction, let us remember those who suffered and perished during one of history's deadliest epidemics – The Black Death
