The Great Plague - The Maniac Pronouncing the Doom of London AD 1665
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this haunting lithograph, artist Arthur Burdett Frost captures the grim reality of one of history's deadliest pandemics. Set against a backdrop of chaos and despair, we witness a chilling scene unfolding before our eyes. A deranged figure stands atop a makeshift podium, his wild eyes filled with madness as he proclaims the impending doom that has befallen London in 1665. Dressed in tattered garments, his disheveled appearance mirrors the crumbling city around him. The eerie silence is broken only by the distant wails and cries echoing through deserted streets. Frost's attention to detail is remarkable; every element contributes to the atmosphere of death and decay. Lifeless bodies lie strewn across the ground, serving as a stark reminder of the plague's merciless grip on humanity. The costumes worn by those unfortunate souls further emphasize their vulnerability and helplessness. This lithograph serves as a poignant reminder of an era marred by suffering and loss. It transports us back to a time when fear reigned supreme and death lurked at every corner. Through its intricate engravings, it encapsulates both historical accuracy and artistic mastery. As we gaze upon this print from our private collection, let us remember those who perished during this dark chapter in British history. May their sacrifice serve as a solemn reminder for future generations to cherish life's fragility and value human resilience in times of adversity.
