Mounted Print : Fleeing Yellow Fever
Mounted Prints from Fine Art Storehouse
Fleeing Yellow Fever
Illustration by Sol Eytinge, with the caption En Route For Kansas - Fleeing From The Yellow Fever, taken from Harpers Weekly, depicting black people fleeing to escape the Yellow Fever. At the time of the Exodus to Kansas, yellow fever ravaged many river towns in Missouri, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Because many of the black migrants who stopped over in these towns - coming by steamboat, train, or horseback - were sick, unwashed, and poverty-stricken, it was assumed by city officials that they must be potential disease carriers. USA, circa 1879. (Photo by Fotosearch/Getty Images)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the harrowing journey of black people fleeing from the devastating Yellow Fever outbreak in 1879. Illustrated by Sol Eytinge and taken from Harper's Weekly, the image is titled "En Route For Kansas - Fleeing From The Yellow Fever". During this time, numerous river towns in Missouri, Mississippi, and Louisiana were ravaged by the deadly disease. As a result, many black migrants sought refuge in Kansas to escape its grasp. However, their arrival was met with suspicion and prejudice due to their impoverished conditions and perceived potential as carriers of the illness. The scene depicted shows a group of weary travelers making their way through an uncertain landscape. Their faces reveal both fear and determination as they navigate treacherous paths on steamboats, trains, or horseback. This visual narrative serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by these individuals seeking safety for themselves and their families. Through this historical lens, we are reminded not only of the resilience displayed by those affected but also of society's tendency to stigmatize marginalized communities during times of crisis. This photograph stands as a testament to human endurance amidst adversity while shedding light on an often overlooked chapter in American history.
