EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Flood-Scale on the Pont Neuf in Paris during November 1910, following the devastating floods that hit the city in January of that year. The Pont Neuf, meaning 'new bridge,' is one of Paris' most iconic structures, spanning the Seine River since its completion in 1607. The Flood-Scale, a historical record of the heights of previous floods, is an essential reminder of the river's capricious nature. The image shows the Flood-Scale, with its distinct white markings, clearly visible against the grey, stormy sky. The highest mark, reached during the catastrophic floods of January 1910, stands proudly at 9.74 meters. This flood, which occurred in the 21st century's first month, was a stark reminder of the destructive power of the Seine. The 17th and 18th centuries saw numerous floods, some of which reached impressive heights, as evidenced by the other marks on the scale. The floods of December 1651, for instance, reached 8.56 meters, while the one in December 1684 reached 8.62 meters. These historical floods, though significant, were surpassed by the one in January 1910, which caused widespread damage and destruction. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of understanding and respecting the forces of nature. It is a testament to the resilience of the people of Paris, who have faced the wrath of the Seine River numerous times throughout history. The Flood-Scale on the Pont Neuf stands as a symbol of the city's rich history and its enduring spirit.
