EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating aftermath of the flooding in Voiron, France, caused by heavy rains in 1897. The engraving, originally featured in "Le petit journal" on June 20th of that year, showcases the extent to which the Isere River and its tributaries overflowed throughout the region, reaching as far as Moirans. The image provides a glimpse into a city submerged under water, with buildings partially or completely engulfed by the rising floodwaters. The scene is both awe-inspiring and tragic, highlighting nature's immense power and its ability to disrupt human lives. Henri Meyer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this print from his Selva Collection. Every line etched onto paper tells a story of destruction and resilience. It serves as a reminder of how communities can come together during times of crisis and rebuild their lives after such devastation. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from the late nineteenth century, we are transported back in time to witness an event that forever changed Voiron and its surrounding areas. This photograph not only documents a natural disaster but also preserves an important moment in French history. Leonard de Selva's preservation of this engraving allows us to reflect on our vulnerability as humans while marveling at our capacity for recovery. It serves as a testament to our shared experiences across centuries and reminds us that even amidst chaos, there is always hope for renewal.
