Painting Description
"Cholera in Russia: The Troubles in Astrakhan" is an illustration by French artist Henri Meyer, published in "Le Petit Journal" on August 6, 1892. The artwork was created during a period when cholera epidemics were rampant across Europe, and it depicts the social and public health crisis in the Russian city of Astrakhan, which was severely affected by the disease. Henri Meyer, known for his detailed and often dramatic illustrations, captured the fear and turmoil that gripped the city as it grappled with the outbreak.
The illustration is significant both as a historical record and as a piece of journalistic art. It reflects the role of media in the 19th century in raising public awareness about health crises and the conditions that exacerbated them, such as poor sanitation and overcrowding. Meyer's work, featured in the widely circulated "Le Petit Journal," would have contributed to the contemporary understanding of the cholera epidemic's impact on society.
"Cholera in Russia: The Troubles in Astrakhan" is emblematic of the era's visual reporting and is an example of how art was employed to convey news before the widespread use of photography in journalism. The illustration not only serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of epidemics but also provides insight into the historical context of public health and societal responses to disease outbreaks.
