EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the year 1850 during a devastating cholera epidemic in Granada, Spain. The photograph captures a powerful moment as the inhabitants of this ancient city come together to combat the deadly disease. The image showcases both men and women working side by side, united in their efforts to disinfect the streets. They build towering bonfires that illuminate the night sky with flickering flames. These fires serve as beacons of hope amidst the darkness that has engulfed their community. The original artist, W H Overend, brings this historical event to life through his meticulous sketching skills. With inspiration from Mr H Stanier's firsthand account as British Vice-Consul, Overend successfully captures not only the physicality but also the emotional resilience of these brave individuals. This print is a testament to human strength and solidarity in times of crisis. It serves as a reminder of our ability to overcome adversity when faced with unimaginable challenges. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Storehouse's collection at Hulton Archive/Getty Images, let us reflect on how far we have come since those dark days while acknowledging that history has much to teach us about resilience and unity in times of hardship.
