EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a street scene in Barowslav, capturing a moment frozen in time on the 24th of October, 1921. The image showcases an astonishing sight - the entire street submerged six inches deep in a mysterious oily liquid. It is evident that this peculiar phenomenon is caused by the relentless draining down from nearby pumping stations. The monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to the photograph, emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow. The absence of color allows our imagination to fill in the gaps, making this snapshot even more intriguing. One can almost feel the texture of the liquid underfoot and hear distant murmurs echoing through deserted streets. Central News has masterfully captured this extraordinary occurrence, immortalizing it for generations to come. This Europeana photography treasure offers us a glimpse into history's enigmatic moments, leaving us with countless questions about what might have led to such an unusual spectacle. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time; we become witnesses to an event that unfolded nearly a century ago. It serves as a reminder of how photographs possess immense power – they not only document reality but also preserve stories waiting patiently for curious minds like ours to unravel them.
