EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the iconic image of Britannia, personifying Britain, bravely holding back the deadly cholera at British ports during the outbreak of 1892. The devastating epidemic claimed the lives of approximately 260,000 people in Russia and 7,600 in Hamburg. However, thanks to effective preventive measures, Britain managed to prevent the disease from spreading within its borders. The cartoon by John Tenniel from Punch London on September 10th, 1892 depicts Britannia as a symbol of strength and resilience against this waterborne illness. With her shield raised high and determination etched on her face, she stands as a guardian protecting her nation from the contagious threat. Cholera was a terrifying pandemic that caused widespread sickness and death during this time. But through public health initiatives and advancements in medicine, Britain successfully fought off this deadly enemy. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive measures taken by governments to safeguard public health. As we look at this historical artwork today, it not only commemorates those who lost their lives but also celebrates the triumph over adversity achieved by British society in preventing an epidemic within their shores. It is a testament to human resilience and our ability to overcome even the most formidable challenges when united under one common goal – preserving life and well-being for all.
