EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting reality of Cholera Morbus, a devastating infectious disease that plagued communities in the 19th century. The coloured engraving, created by the French School, showcases the profound impact this bacterial illness had on individuals and their surroundings. In this image, we witness a scene filled with suffering and despair. A littered floor is strewn with sick patients lying in beds, each one battling against the ravages of cholera. The furniture and furnishings surrounding them serve as a stark reminder of their fragile health and uncertain fate. The artist's attention to detail highlights the physical toll this disease takes on its victims. Their faces bear expressions of pain and anguish as they endure acute gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the stomach and intestines caused by cholera bacteria. This print serves as both a medical record and historical document, providing valuable insight into an era when medicine was still grappling to understand such diseases. As we gaze upon this powerful image from "Relacao Historica Statistica e Medica da Cholera-Morbus" we are reminded of humanity's resilience in times of adversity. It prompts us to reflect on our progress in combating infectious diseases while acknowledging those who suffered before us. Through artistry and history combined, this photograph invites us to contemplate not only our own health but also our collective responsibility towards public health initiatives for future generations.
