The novel is an account of one man's experiences of the year 1665, in which the Great Plague or the bubonic plague struck the city of London. It is presented as an eyewitness account, however Defoe was only five years old in 1665; the book itself was published under the initials H. F. and is probably based on the journals of Defoe's uncle, Henry Foe. The Great Plague (1665-66) was the last major epidemic of the bubonic plague to occur in the Kingdom of England (part of modern-day United Kingdom). The Great Plague killed an estimated 100,000 people, about 15% of London's population.Credit:Science Source / Science SourceSize:5232px × 1740px (~26 MB)Get PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareRelated Virtual folders:Explore Science Source ImagesKeywords:1665-17th century-2nd pandemic-art-black death-bubonic plague-colorized-daniel defoe-danse macabre-dead-death-dying-egress-england-engraving-enhanced-epidemic-escape-europe-female-fleeing-great plague-history-horse and carriage-illustration-infectious disease-london-macabre-male-man-medical-medicine-memento mori-pandemic-person-pestilence-plague-second pandemic-skeleton-stagecoach-symbol-title page-woman-woodcut-worldwideModel release:N/AParent folder:2019-12-02-je
