EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hauntingly powerful photo print, we are transported back in time to Rome during a devastating plague outbreak. The image, based on an etching by French artist Alphonse Legros, captures the grim reality of the era. People afflicted with the deadly disease gather around a cardinal who administers the last sacrament, their only solace in their final moments. The scene is somber and filled with despair as victims seek comfort and spiritual guidance from the cardinal. Attended by altar boys and priests, he stands as a symbol of hope amidst unimaginable suffering. Their presence reminds us of the unwavering dedication of those who risked their lives to provide solace to others during times of great adversity. This illustration serves as a chilling reminder of the historical significance of pandemics throughout history. It transports us back to an era when diseases like bubonic plague ravaged communities and left countless lives shattered in its wake. The archival nature of this image adds depth and authenticity, allowing us to glimpse into a dark chapter in Italian history. As we reflect upon this poignant depiction, it serves as a testament to human resilience in times of crisis. It also highlights our collective responsibility to learn from past experiences and work together towards preventing future outbreaks.
