EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sepia print captures the aftermath of a devastating flood in the historic mining town of Ely, White Pine County, Nevada, USA. Circa 1920, the image portrays a flooded street, submerged in murky water, with buildings on either side standing defiantly against the elements. The town, nestled in the heart of the Great Basin Desert, was built on the banks of the White Pine River and relied heavily on the mining industry for its livelihood. The 1920s were a period of significant growth for Ely, with the discovery of new mines and the expansion of existing ones. However, this progress came with its share of challenges, including the unpredictable forces of nature. The town's residents were no strangers to flooding, but the one depicted in this photograph was particularly destructive. Despite the chaos and destruction, the people of Ely remained resilient. They banded together to help each other rebuild and recover from the disaster. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the power of nature and the indomitable spirit of the human spirit. The sepia tone adds to the nostalgic and timeless quality of the photograph, transporting us back to a bygone era. The print is a testament to the rich history of Ely and the resilience of its people in the face of adversity.
