EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the aftermath of the devastating Lisbon Quake of 1755, one of the most destructive earthquakes in history. The panoramic view shows a city in ruins, with buildings reduced to rubble and streets littered with debris. The tremors that struck at 9:30 am were just the beginning, as they were followed by a series of tsunami waves that further ravaged the coastal city.
The scene is chaotic and apocalyptic, with fires raging out of control and adding to the destruction caused by the natural disasters. The historical significance of this event cannot be overstated, as it forever changed the landscape and trajectory of Lisbon.
The photographer has captured not only the physical devastation but also the emotional toll on those who survived this catastrophic event. The sheer scale of destruction is overwhelming, serving as a stark reminder of nature's power and unpredictability.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the horror and despair experienced by those caught in the midst of these earth-shattering phenomena. It serves as a poignant reminder of our own vulnerability in the face of nature's wrath.
