EDITORS COMMENTS
The Destructive Fire at Grindelwald, Switzerland (engraving) captures the devastating scene that unfolded on a fateful day in August 1892. This powerful image, created by an anonymous English School artist of the 19th century, showcases the destructive force of nature as it engulfs the picturesque village. The print depicts a panoramic view of Grindelwald, with its iconic landmarks such as Wetterhorn and Eiger towering in the background. The once charming architecture and chalets now stand in ruins, consumed by flames that originated from an unknown source. The Bear Hotel and English Church are no exception to this tragedy, reduced to mere ashes. In this chaotic setting, brave Swiss men can be seen desperately trying to contain the fire while Dr. Lunn coordinates rescue efforts at the station. The Eismeer glistens ominously in contrast to the chaos below. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on August 27th, 1892 – a testament to its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of both human vulnerability and resilience when faced with natural disasters. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece of history through their Fine Art Finder collection. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of Grindelwald's tragic past but also of our shared humanity across Europe.
