EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting and powerful print captures the devastating impact of cholera during the First Balkan War. The image, taken from "Le Petite Journal" on January 12th, 1912, depicts cholera personified as Death wielding a sickle-like weapon. In this allegorical representation, Death mercilessly tears through soldiers who are already weakened by deprivation and fatigue. The engraving by Stefano Bianchetti showcases the grim reality faced by troops during this tumultuous period in history. The skeletal figure of Death looms over the scene, symbolizing the deadly nature of the disease that ravaged armies on both sides of the conflict. The soldiers depicted are frail and vulnerable, their bodies succumbing to illness amidst an atmosphere of despair. Through this artwork, Bianchetti masterfully portrays not only the physical toll but also the psychological impact of war and disease. It serves as a poignant reminder of how epidemics can exacerbate human suffering during times of conflict. As we reflect upon this historical moment captured in ink and paper, we are reminded of our collective responsibility to prioritize health and well-being in times of crisis. This print stands as a testament to resilience in adversity while urging us to learn from past experiences so that we may better protect ourselves against future threats.
