EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "La mort masquee d un visage de femme" by E. Deschamps, featured in the book "Syphilis poeme en quatre chants" by Barthelemy in 1851. The French School of the 19th century created this powerful artwork, now part of a private collection. The image portrays a masked face of a woman, symbolizing death and disease. It is accompanied by an open book, representing knowledge and education about syphilis—a prevalent illness during that time period. This thought-provoking engraving delves into the themes of sexuality, mortality, and the impact of epidemics on society. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this print. The delicate lines capture both beauty and despair simultaneously. Birdsong can be heard faintly in the background, reminding us that life continues amidst sickness and tragedy. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures this historical piece with his lens, preserving its essence for generations to come. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of the importance of healthcare and understanding contagious diseases throughout history. This print invites contemplation about our own health while appreciating the artistry behind it. It stands as a testament to human resilience against pandemics like syphilis—an epidemic that once plagued societies worldwide but has since been largely controlled through advancements in medicine and public health measures.
