EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Monterrey's history - the terrible flood that struck the barrio of San Luisito on 15 August 1903. The image is part of a broadsheet created by renowned Mexican artist Jose Guadalupe Posada, who skillfully depicted the devastating aftermath of this natural disaster. In the foreground, we see the city streets submerged under rushing waters, as buildings and trees are partially submerged. The chaos and destruction caused by the flood are evident from every corner of this snapshot. Posada's attention to detail brings out the desperation and fear on people's faces as they navigate through waist-deep water, desperately seeking safety. The bottom section of this broadsheet provides a descriptive account of what unfolded during that fateful day in Monterrey. It serves as both an informative piece for those seeking historical context and a powerful reminder of nature's unpredictable force. Jose Guadalupe Posada was known for his ability to capture societal issues through his art, making him one of Mexico's most celebrated artists. This particular work showcases his talent for conveying emotion and telling stories through visual imagery. As we gaze upon this poignant photograph print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the devastation faced by residents in San Luisito during that unforgettable flood over a century ago.
