EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a satirical illustration by George of Ostoya-Sochinsky (D Ostoya) from the early 20th century. Titled "The Butter Plate" this artwork delves into radical methods to combat epidemics and explores themes of anticlericalism and religion. Intriguingly complex and thought-provoking, the image depicts a procession amidst an outbreak of cholera. It challenges traditional beliefs and superstitions surrounding disease prevention while highlighting the influence of faith on public health practices. The engraving showcases various religious symbols such as crosses alongside medical imagery to emphasize the clash between science and spirituality during that time. With its vibrant colors and meticulous details, this French engraving offers a glimpse into societal attitudes towards health crises in both Russia and Europe at large. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by communities grappling with contagious illnesses throughout history. As we reflect on this piece from over a century ago, it prompts us to consider how our own society addresses pandemics today. From medicine to religion to social customs – what lessons can we learn from past approaches? This photograph invites us to delve deeper into these questions while appreciating the artistic brilliance behind Ostoya's work.
