EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the once tranquil Quai Albert-Joly in the picturesque village of Meulan, France, is transformed into a scene of chaos and destruction as the River Seine overflows its banks in January 1910. The usually lined streets, adorned with trees and quaint cafes, are now submerged under the murky floodwaters. The road, once a bustling thoroughfare, is now a riverway, with boats and punts the only means of transportation. The photograph captures the moment of the flood's peak, with the water reaching the very doors of the buildings along the quay. The tree on the left, its branches reaching towards the sky, stands as a lone testament to the power of the floodwaters that have engulfed the surrounding landscape. The cafe on the right, its windows shattered, is a stark reminder of the devastation wrought by the natural disaster. The photograph, taken in January 1910, is a poignant reminder of the unpredictable and destructive power of nature. The village of Meulan, located in the Yvelines department of France, has a long history of flooding, with the River Seine being the primary cause. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into a moment in time when the village was brought to its knees by the forces of nature. Despite the destruction, there is a sense of resilience and determination in the photograph, with the villagers and their boats braving the floodwaters to navigate the streets and quays. The photograph is a testament to the strength and resourcefulness of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. The photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a valuable historical record of a moment in time, offering a unique perspective on the impact of a natural disaster on a community. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our history, and the role that photographs play in helping us understand the past and the world around us.
