In the Dark

I found this disturbingly macabre engraving in an old book of poetry. I don’t know the artist, who is not identified in the book. The image seems very Victorian. Perhaps someone can identify it?

Many thanks to Wyn Evans in the comment below who identified this work as Le Cholera Morbus by M. de Gallieni, an artist unknown to me. It was executed in 1885.
