EDITORS COMMENTS
FLOODS: MARIETTA, 1860. View of Front Street, Marietta, Ohio, on the morning of the Flood of 1860. Contemporary wood engraving from an American newspaper captures the devastating impact of nature's wrath on this small town in America's heartland. The image showcases a scene that is both haunting and awe-inspiring. The floodwaters have completely engulfed Front Street, transforming it into a vast expanse resembling a river rather than a bustling thoroughfare. The buildings lining the street are partially submerged, their upper floors barely visible above the waterline. A few brave souls navigate through this watery maze using boats as makeshift transportation. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination exhibited by the people of Marietta during this challenging time. Despite facing immense adversity, they refuse to be defeated by Mother Nature's fury. The wood engraving technique used in creating this artwork adds depth and texture to every stroke, capturing not only the physical destruction but also conveying an emotional narrative within its lines and contours. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, we cannot help but reflect on how far our society has come in terms of disaster preparedness and response. This image stands as a testament to human strength and unity in times when everything seems lost.
