EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during the devastating flood that swept through France, specifically Paris, on January 30, 1910. The image showcases the conference dock and offers a view of the port of Alma as boats navigate the rising waters of the Seine River.
The scene is filled with historical significance as it provides a glimpse into the transportation methods and infrastructure of early 20th century Paris. The boats lined up along the dock serve as a reminder of how crucial waterways were for passenger transportation and trade during this period.
Despite the chaos caused by nature's fury, there is an eerie beauty to be found in this photograph. The reflections on the water create a sense of serenity amidst the turmoil, while also highlighting the resilience of those who lived through such challenging times.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of Paris' most significant floods. It serves as a poignant reminder of both our vulnerability to natural disasters and our ability to adapt and overcome adversity.
