EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a contemporary engraving that takes us back to the year 1720 in Marseilles, France, during the devastating plague outbreak. The image depicts physicians dressed in their distinctive and intriguing plague costumes. These brave doctors are seen wearing long robes adorned with intricate patterns, symbolizing their dedication to medicine and healing. Their attire is completed by a wide-brimmed hat, which adds an air of mystery and authority to their appearance. To protect themselves from infection, these physicians wear gloves and masks over their faces, shielding them from the deadly disease that plagued the city at that time. In one hand, they hold a wand-like instrument used for examining patients or perhaps administering treatments. The engraving captures both the seriousness of the epidemic and the determination of these French doctors as they battle against this great scourge known as bubonic plague or "the Great Plague". It serves as a reminder of how early medical practitioners faced immense challenges while striving to save lives amidst such widespread illness. This remarkable piece of art offers us a glimpse into history's darkest moments while honoring those who risked everything in pursuit of finding cures for infectious diseases like this devastating epidemic in Marseilles over three centuries ago.
