EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment during the devastating London Plague of 1665. The engraving, based on P. F. Poole's painting, depicts Solomon Eagle fearlessly preaching repentance amidst the chaos and despair caused by the bubonic plague. Solomon Eagle, an iconic figure during this epidemic, is shown standing tall in the midst of a bustling street filled with victims of the disease. His commanding presence and fervent expression convey his determination to spread a message of hope and redemption in the face of overwhelming suffering. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving - from the intricate lines that depict each individual victim to the hauntingly dark shadows that symbolize both death and resilience. The composition skillfully portrays not only Solomon Eagle as a beacon of light but also showcases the magnitude and severity of this deadly epidemic. This image serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's ability to find strength even in times of great adversity. It encapsulates both the horrors endured by those affected by illness and their unwavering spirit to overcome it through faith and unity. As we reflect on history, let us remember those who suffered during this tragic period while acknowledging our own responsibility towards public health today. This remarkable artwork invites us to contemplate how societies have faced pandemics throughout time, urging us never to forget these lessons learned from past epidemics like London's Great Plague in 1665
