EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the haunting image of a child afflicted with smallpox in Madras, India during the 1970s. The portrait showcases the devastating impact of this infectious disease on one young boy's life. Taken by FN Sharma for the World Health Organization (WHO), it serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by healthcare professionals in combating epidemics. The child, shirtless and spotted with smallpox lesions, gazes away from the camera, his hand unconsciously reaching towards his mouth. The photograph is taken waist up, emphasizing his vulnerability and isolation within an infectious diseases hospital. Despite being indoors, there is an overwhelming sense of desolation surrounding him. In this vertical composition, every detail tells a story - from the boy's expression to his surroundings. It highlights not only the physical toll that smallpox takes on its victims but also underscores broader issues related to healthcare and medicine in 20th century India. FN Sharma's evocative photography brings attention to both individual suffering and larger public health concerns. This image stands as a testament to humanity's ongoing battle against infectious diseases like smallpox while serving as a stark reminder of their lasting impact on childhood innocence.
