EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in the history of Lisbon, Portugal - an atonement procession for the cessation of yellow fever in 1857. The image, featured in "Le Monde illustrious" from the same year, showcases a scene filled with religious fervor and hope for healing. The procession is led by unknown figures dressed in traditional Portuguese costumes, symbolizing their deep-rooted faith and commitment to overcoming this devastating disease. As they make their way through the streets of Lisbon, the crowd follows closely behind, united in prayer and seeking solace from their suffering. The black and white composition adds a sense of gravity to this historical event, emphasizing both the seriousness of the epidemic and the determination of its victims to find relief. Amidst this sea of people are doctors donning balaclavas, tirelessly working towards finding a cure for yellow fever. Religion intertwines with medicine as Catholicism plays a central role in providing comfort during these trying times. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder not only of past epidemics but also highlights humanity's resilience when faced with adversity. Preserved within a private collection today, this artwork by Stefano Bianchetti stands as an important testament to our collective history - reminding us that even amidst darkness and despair, there is always hope for redemption.
