The title places a crowd of plague sufferers outside a temple, a scene that reflects how people in early modern Europe often turned to churches and sacred sites in epidemics, seeking prayer, relief, or a place to gather for aid. The shelflist card links the print to the name Audran, which likely points to the French engraving family active in the 17th and 18th centuries, though the record does not confirm which member made it. The card gives no date, so the print's exact period and purpose remain uncertain. Its composition and details of the figures are worth examining for clues about how artists depicted disease and suffering.
