EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the last case of Smallpox in India, a significant milestone in the global fight against this devastating disease. Taken by the World Health Organization (WHO) in May 1975, it portrays Manjo, a brave 7-year-old boy from Katihar District, Eihar State. Standing tall and strong, he represents both resilience and vulnerability. In this portrait shot, Manjo's small frame is spotted with telltale signs of illness as he bravely faces the camera. His waist-up pose allows us to witness his innocence and determination up close. The yearning look in his eyes reflects not only his personal struggle but also symbolizes the countless lives affected by this epidemic throughout history. Set indoors during a time when healthcare and medicine were still grappling with infectious diseases like Smallpox, this image serves as a reminder of humanity's triumphs over adversity. It showcases how scientific advancements have eradicated one of mankind's deadliest foes – the smallpox virus. Manjo stands alone in this photograph; an embodiment of childhood interrupted by sickness. Shirtless yet dignified, he becomes an emblematic figure representing all those who suffered from this merciless disease. As we observe this powerful visual testament from the 20th century, let us remember that behind every statistic lies a human story worth telling. This image urges us to continue our efforts towards global health security while honoring those who fought valiantly against infectious diseases like Smallpox.
