EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a significant period in history - the Great Plague of 1664-1665 in London. The image showcases an original "Bills of Mortality" bill, which played a crucial role in understanding and analyzing the devastating impact of the bubonic plague during that time. John Graunt, a renowned statistician from the 17th century, based his groundbreaking analysis on these weekly and yearly tables. His work revolutionized the field of statistics and provided valuable insights into public health during epidemics. This print serves as a testament to Graunt's pioneering efforts in using data to comprehend disease patterns. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of solemnity to this historical artifact, reminding us of the immense suffering caused by this deadly epidemic. It transports us back to a time when England was grappling with one of its most severe health crises. As we observe this print, it is impossible not to reflect upon how far we have come in terms of medicine and healthcare since then. It also serves as a reminder that even amidst great adversity, human resilience prevails. This photograph captures both the tragedy and triumphs associated with battling infectious diseases throughout history. With its rich historical context and powerful visual representation, this print offers viewers an opportunity for reflection on our collective journey towards better understanding disease prevention and control.
