EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating aftermath of the Great Flood at Cork in the 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases the breach in the river-wall at Popes Quay during this catastrophic event. The image was originally published in The Illustrated London News on October 9,1875. The scene is one of utter chaos and destruction. Horses and cattle can be seen struggling to stay afloat amidst the rising floodwaters, adding a sense of urgency and desperation to the composition. Buildings are partially submerged, their foundations weakened by the forceful current. The sheer scale of devastation depicted here is both awe-inspiring and heartbreaking. It serves as a stark reminder of nature's power and man's vulnerability when faced with such natural disasters. This historic moment captured through art allows us to reflect on our own resilience as we witness how communities come together to rebuild after tragedy strikes. This print from Fine Art Finder reminds us that history has its fair share of challenges but also highlights humanity's ability to endure and overcome adversity. It stands as a testament to our shared experiences throughout time while serving as a poignant reminder that even in moments of darkness, hope can still shine through.
