Monument to the Victims of the Yellow Fever Epidemic, Marble monument in Parque Patricios, Argentina.
The monument displays carved marble reliefs and inscribed names of doctors, pharmacists, and other individuals who died during the 1871 epidemic in Buenos Aires.
Juan Ferrari created this memorial in 1873 to commemorate over 14,000 Buenos Aires residents who perished during the yellow fever outbreak of 1871.
The monument features a marble reproduction of Juan Manuel Blanes' painting depicting medical authorities discovering a deceased woman with her crying infant.
The memorial stands in Parque Florentino Ameghino, which spans 46,622 square meters and includes walking paths, children's playgrounds, and green spaces.
The monument marks the location of a former public cemetery where numerous yellow fever victims received burial before its closure in 1882.
