Blaize tasting the Plague Medicines
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 17th century, during the devastating outbreak of the bubonic plague. This historical artwork, created by John Franklin around 1800, depicts a pivotal moment in William Harrison Ainsworth's novel "Old Saint Pauls". The image showcases Blaize, a brave and determined character, sampling various antidotes in an attempt to find a cure for this deadly disease. The scene is set against the backdrop of London's iconic Saint Paul's Cathedral engulfed in flames during the Great Fire of 1666. This engraving not only captures the desperation and urgency felt during such pandemics but also highlights humanity's relentless pursuit of remedies even amidst chaos. It serves as a reminder of our resilience and determination to overcome adversity. Franklin's intricate detailing brings life to each element within this illustration - from Blaize himself to the shelves filled with medicinal bottles. The artist skillfully conveys both fear and hope through his use of light and shadow. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time, witnessing one man's courageous quest for health amidst widespread illness. It stands as a testament to our ongoing battle against infectious diseases throughout history. This powerful depiction reminds us how far medical science has come since those dark times while acknowledging that there is still much work ahead in ensuring global healthcare for all.
