EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in history - the devastating flood that struck Tennessee in 1937. In Ridgely, Tennessee, a family is seen on the move, desperately fleeing the rising waters of the Ohio River. The image showcases their determination and resilience as they navigate through flooded farmland. Taken by photographer Edwin Locke in February 1937, this snapshot freezes time and allows us to witness the harsh realities faced by families during this natural disaster. The family's horse-drawn wagon becomes their only means of transportation along a road transformed into an unforgiving river. The composition highlights the vastness of the flooding, with water stretching as far as the eye can see. It serves as a reminder of nature's power to disrupt daily life and force communities to adapt swiftly. The dilapidated houses in the background stand as silent witnesses to human displacement caused by these catastrophic events. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Granger Art on Demand's collection, we are transported back to a different era - one marked by struggle but also characterized by unity and perseverance. This photograph encapsulates not just a moment frozen in time but also represents countless stories of survival etched into Tennessee's collective memory.
