EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating scenes in Hamburg, Germany during the cholera epidemic of 1892. The wood engravings depict three distinct moments from this tragic period. On the left, we witness travelers from Hamburg being meticulously inspected at the Bremen railway station, highlighting efforts to prevent further spread of the disease. In the top right corner, a group of Catholic nuns can be seen heading towards Hamburg with a noble mission – to care for and nurse patients affected by cholera. The bottom right engraving showcases an act of compassion as boiled drinking water is distributed to the poor. This initiative aimed to provide clean and safe drinking water, which was crucial in preventing further infection among vulnerable communities. These powerful images convey both despair and hope amidst one of history's deadliest epidemics. They serve as a reminder of how societies came together during times of crisis, transcending boundaries such as religion or social status. Dating back to 1892, these wood engravings offer us a glimpse into life at the turn of the century in Germany - a time when medical knowledge was limited but determination to fight against illness prevailed. Through this historical lens, we gain insight into not only public health practices but also transportation systems and societal roles during that era. This poignant collection serves as a testament to human resilience and acts as an important reminder that even in our darkest hours, compassion and unity can prevail over adversity.
