EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing History: The Devastating Flood of 1936 in Manchester, New Hampshire". This print takes us back to the year 1936, where we witness the aftermath of a catastrophic event that forever changed the landscape of Manchester. In this powerful image by renowned photographer Carl Mydans, we are presented with a haunting view of the Amoskeag mills and the remains of a bridge that once connected communities. September 1936 marked a dark chapter in Manchester's history when torrential rains caused the Merrimack River to overflow its banks. As nature unleashed its fury upon this industrial city, homes were destroyed, lives were upended, and infrastructure was washed away. Amidst this chaos stands the Amoskeag mills - an iconic symbol of New Hampshire's manufacturing prowess - now surrounded by debris from what was once a vital link between neighborhoods. Mydans' lens captures not only physical devastation but also serves as a testament to human resilience. This photograph reminds us that even in times of great adversity, communities come together to rebuild and forge ahead. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Granger Art on Demand collection, let it serve as both a reminder and tribute to those who endured these challenging times. May it inspire us to appreciate our present circumstances while acknowledging how far we have come since then.
