EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the devastating earthquake that struck Lisbon in 1755, showcasing the power and destruction unleashed upon the city. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into one of history's most catastrophic natural disasters. The scene depicts chaos and despair as buildings crumble under the force of nature's wrath. The intricate details showcase terrified citizens desperately seeking safety amidst crumbling structures and billowing smoke. The artist skillfully conveys the magnitude of this event through dramatic lines and contrasting shades. This particular print is part of a private collection, highlighting its historical significance and artistic value. It was originally featured in James Macaulay's "Sea Pictures" published by Religious Tract Society around 1880. Thanks to digital restoration, we can now appreciate this image with enhanced clarity while preserving its original essence. Looking at this engraving evokes a sense of awe for both nature's destructive power and humanity's resilience in times of crisis. It serves as a poignant reminder that even centuries later, we continue to learn from past tragedies like the Lisbon earthquake.
