EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FLOODS: OHIO RIVER, 1883" takes us back to a momentous event in American history. The image captures the devastating Great Floods on the Ohio River that occurred below Cincinnati during February 1883. The wood engraving, sourced from a contemporary American newspaper, showcases the sheer magnitude of this natural disaster. As we gaze at the picture, we can almost feel the weight of despair that must have engulfed those affected by this catastrophic flood. In the foreground, a steamboat battles against powerful currents as it navigates through flooded streets. This striking scene serves as a testament to human resilience and determination in times of crisis. The boat symbolizes both hope and desperation as people sought refuge or evacuation from their inundated homes. The surrounding buildings stand tall but are partially submerged in murky water, emphasizing the destructive force unleashed by nature upon this once-thriving cityscape. It is an eerie reminder of how quickly life can be disrupted when faced with forces beyond our control. As we reflect on this historical moment frozen in time, let us not forget the countless lives forever altered by these floods. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our vulnerability to nature's wrath and highlights our ongoing need for preparedness and resilience in face of such calamities.
