Description
Le Petit Journal, Supplement Illustre?, page 1. Bright color cover illustration of death in red robe with scythe hovering over hordes fleeing a burning village behind them. There is text on page 58 (not in folder) on this topic as well as a longer article about plague in Europe in the past. (ca. 12 x 16 in.) During the winter of 1910 to 1911, an explosive epidemic of pneumonic plague raged in Manchuria and northern China. At the time, this region was divided into zones of influence, and each zone was controlled by a European power or Japan, all of which feared that plague would compromise their commercial interests. The Manchurian epidemic of 1910 to 1911 undoubtedly stressed an already unstable Chinese government and contributed to undermining the political integrity of the 250-year-old Qing empire, which fell the following autumn. The epidemic began in September 1910 and ended the following April. During the peak 4 months, from October through January, pneumonic plague killed more than 50,000 people. Hansen database #3710
