EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MISSISSIPPI FLOOD, 1927" offers a glimpse into the devastating Great Mississippi River Flood that occurred in April of that year. The image showcases the flood wall on the waterfront in Cairo, Illinois, a city situated at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. The photograph captures an early scene of this North African cityscape during a time of crisis. The concrete flood wall stands tall as a symbol of human effort to control nature's wrath. In front of it, an assortment of buildings and storefronts line the street, showcasing life before disaster struck. An automobile parked by the riverside hints at normalcy amidst chaos while riverboats and steamboats remain docked due to impassable waters. This snapshot freezes a moment in history when Cairo was caught between two powerful rivers, both overflowing their banks. The Granger Collection has beautifully preserved this piece from their Carousel Collection, offering viewers an opportunity to reflect on past events that shaped our world today. As we observe this photograph without commercial intentions or use in mind, we are reminded not only of Mother Nature's immense power but also humanity's resilience in times of adversity.
