EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a chilling scene during the cholera epidemic in Europe. In the image, travelers from Switzerland are depicted standing in quarantine at Bardonnechia, Italy, as they make their way to Italy. The travelers are seen watching with concern and caution as a soldier oversees their isolation period. The illustration, published in London on 16 August 1884, portrays the casual attire of the individuals amidst this dire situation. The significance of this image lies in its portrayal of the measures taken to control and contain the deadly cholera outbreak. With tents set up for quarantine purposes and a military presence ensuring compliance, it is evident that authorities were taking no chances when it came to preventing further spread of this devastating disease. The mountain range serves as a backdrop to this somber scene, reminding us that even amidst natural beauty, human lives were at risk. The absence of people within the frame emphasizes both solitude and vulnerability during these times. As we reflect on history through this photograph, we are reminded of the importance of healthcare and medicine in combating epidemics. This image stands as a reminder that diseases can strike unexpectedly but also highlights humanity's resilience and determination to overcome such challenges.
