EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking sight of the historic Notre Dame Cathedral on the Isle de la Cite in Paris during the catastrophic flood of the Seine River on January 28, 1910. The maximum floodwaters reached an unprecedented 9.5 meters above the normal level, submerging the iconic cathedral and its surroundings. The Parisian landscape is transformed as the river's powerful currents carry barges and debris, creating a surreal scene. The cathedral's flying buttresses and intricate gothic architecture are barely visible beneath the murky waters. The floodwaters not only caused extensive damage to the cathedral but also to the city's infrastructure and homes. The Parisian people were left to deal with the aftermath of this natural disaster, which became a defining moment in the city's history. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the power and unpredictability of nature and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
