EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back to the grim reality of London in 1665 during the Great Plague. Titled "Bills of Mortality: Announcement of Death through Diseases in London" it offers a haunting glimpse into a dark chapter of British history. In this seventeenth-century depiction, we witness an announcement board displaying the devastating toll that various diseases had taken on the city's population. The Bills of Mortality were weekly reports compiled by parish clerks, documenting deaths and their causes during this epidemic. These records provide invaluable insights into the impact and spread of diseases such as bubonic plague. The image transports us to a time when medicine was still grappling with understanding contagious illnesses, and death lurked around every corner. It serves as a stark reminder of how far we have come in our fight against epidemics and highlights the resilience and progress made within healthcare over centuries. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, let us remember those who perished during these challenging times while acknowledging the advancements that have safeguarded humanity since then. This photograph is not just a mere visual representation; it symbolizes both our collective vulnerability to disease and our unwavering determination to overcome adversity throughout history.
