EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from 1607 depicts the devastating flood that struck Wales, submerging the town of Monmouthshire in water. The image showcases the sheer power and destruction caused by nature's wrath as buildings, livestock, and even trees are engulfed by the rising waters. The spire of a church stands tall amidst this watery chaos, symbolizing both hope and despair. The artist skillfully captures the sense of trouble and desperation felt by the people affected by this calamity. It is evident that lives were lost and livelihoods destroyed as individuals struggle to climb to safety or find refuge on rooftops. The underwater scene conveys a sense of eerie silence, emphasizing the magnitude of this natural disaster. This woodcut print serves as a historical record, offering us a glimpse into an event that forever changed the landscape and lives of those living in Wales during this time period. It reminds us of our vulnerability in the face of nature's forces while also highlighting our resilience in times of adversity. As we observe this artwork today, it serves as a reminder to appreciate our modern advancements in flood prevention and disaster management. It prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since 1607 but also urges us not to forget those who suffered through such catastrophic events throughout history.
