EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Outbreak of plague in Manchuria" takes us back to a haunting moment in history. Captured by the French School in the 20th century, it depicts a scene of terror and desperation during an epidemic that ravaged Manchuria. The image portrays people fleeing from the disease, only to be halted at the imposing Great Wall of China by Chinese troops. The composition is filled with anguish and panic as refugees on horseback are confronted by soldiers atop this ancient barrier. The horses' hooves kick up dust as they anxiously await their fate. This powerful illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Journal on February 12,1911, shedding light on the devastating impact of this outbreak. The image serves as a reminder of both human vulnerability and resilience in times of crisis. It captures not only the physical barriers erected to contain the spread but also reflects upon our collective fear and anxiety when faced with such catastrophic events. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we cannot help but feel a sense of empathy for those caught up in this tragic chapter. It stands as a testament to the importance of healthcare and medicine while reminding us that even amidst chaos, there is always hope for recovery and renewal. Bridgeman Images has preserved this significant piece within their private collection so that future generations can bear witness to humanity's struggles against illness and find inspiration in our ability to overcome adversity.
