EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the devastating aftermath of a cyclone that hit Martinique on August 8th, 1903. The image shows the extensive damage caused to the Mairie (Town Hall) in Gros Morne, a town on the island of Martinique in the Caribbean. The roof of the building has collapsed and debris is scattered around it, illustrating the destructive power of tropical storms.
The historical significance of this photograph lies in its documentation of a natural disaster that had a profound impact on the local community. The storm not only caused physical damage to buildings like the Mairie but also disrupted daily life for residents of Gros Morne and surrounding areas.
