EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1607 depicts the devastating flood that struck Wales, leaving Monmouthshire in a state of despair. The title page of "Lamentable newes out of Monmouthshire in Wales" tells a tale of tragedy and destruction caused by nature's wrath. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back to a time when life was simpler yet fraught with uncertainty. The scene is one of chaos and turmoil as the floodwaters engulf everything in their path. Buildings stand partially submerged, their spires barely visible above the waterline. Trees bend under the force of the rushing currents, while livestock desperately seek higher ground to escape drowning. The exterior landscape has transformed into an underwater realm where survival becomes a daily struggle. In this woodcut, we witness both human and animal figures attempting to climb or cling onto anything they can find for safety. Their faces reveal fear and desperation as they battle against the relentless tide that threatens their very existence. This powerful image serves as a reminder of our vulnerability in the face of natural disasters and how quickly our lives can be turned upside down. It also highlights the resilience and strength within us all when faced with adversity. As we reflect on this historical event captured through art, let us remember those who suffered during this catastrophic flood in Wales over four centuries ago. May it serve as a testament to our ability to overcome challenges and rebuild even amidst great trouble.
