EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the River Seine in flood at Saint Germain, France, during World War II in the 1940s. The image transports us back in time to an era marked by hardship and resilience. The Seine, usually a graceful and serene body of water, is transformed into a raging force, its waters overflowing their banks and inundating the surrounding streets and buildings. The scene is one of chaos and destruction, yet there is a sense of calm and determination in the faces of the people who are seen wading through the water or standing on the banks, watching the floodwaters recede. The historic town of Saint Germain, with its charming streets and elegant architecture, is under siege, but the spirit of its inhabitants remains unbroken. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by communities during wartime and the power of nature to disrupt daily life. It also serves as a testament to the human spirit and our ability to endure and adapt in the face of adversity. Mary Evans Picture Library is proud to offer this rare and evocative image for personal use in albums, scrapbooks, and other non-commercial projects. The photograph is believed to have been taken during the late 1940s, and it provides a unique glimpse into a moment in history that continues to fascinate and inspire us today.
