EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a devastating moment in Bosnian history, when a plague of locusts descended upon the farmlands, leaving destruction in their wake. The year was 1925, and the authorities were forced to take drastic measures to repel the swarms of insects that threatened to decimate crops and livelihoods.
In an effort to save their land from being completely ravaged by these voracious pests, the authorities resorted to using asphyxiating gas to suffocate the locusts. It was a desperate attempt to protect what little remained of the once fertile fields that sustained so many people in Bosnia.
The image is a stark reminder of the powerlessness felt by those who witnessed their homes and livelihoods being destroyed by forces beyond their control. The sight of countless locusts covering every inch of available space is both awe-inspiring and terrifying, serving as a testament to nature's ability to wreak havoc on human civilization.
As we look back on this historical event through Mary Evans Picture Library's lens, we are reminded of the resilience and determination shown by the Bosnian people in the face of such overwhelming devastation. Their strength in overcoming adversity serves as an inspiration for us all.
