The card commemorates the unfortunate sufferers who lost their lives due to the devastating bursting of a dam at Bradfield, near Sheffield. With its somber design and heartfelt verse, this memorial card stands as a powerful reminder of the immense loss experienced by the community. The verse inscribed on the card begins with the evocative line, "Like crowded forest trees we stand" symbolizing both unity and vulnerability in face of nature's fury. This particular memorial card is distinct from others produced during that time period as it specifically references over 800 lives tragically lost in this calamity. Preserved within Sheffield Libraries' archives (arc02519), this original artifact provides a glimpse into history and serves as an enduring testament to resilience amidst tragedy.
