EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print from Memory Lane Prints captures the heartbreaking reality of a rabbit infected with Myxomatosis in the final stages of the disease. Taken in October 1954 near the South Wales town of Llannilo in Carmarthenshire, this image serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact that diseases can have on innocent animals. In this poignant scene, we witness an unfortunate creature that has been robbed of its sight and hearing by this merciless ailment. Devoid of any sensory perception, it has inadvertently stumbled onto a road, unaware of the imminent danger it faces. The vulnerability etched on its face is palpable, evoking empathy and sorrow within us. The photograph's black-and-white composition adds to its somber tone, emphasizing both the physical deterioration suffered by the afflicted rabbit and our own helplessness when confronted with such suffering. It transports us back to a time when Myxomatosis was rampant among rabbits across Europe during the 1950s. As we reflect upon this image captured over half a century ago, let us remember not only the individual animal depicted but also all those who fell victim to this devastating disease. May it serve as a powerful testament to our responsibility towards protecting vulnerable creatures from similar afflictions today and inspire efforts for their welfare.
