EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the heart-wrenching scene of a couple of elderly people being rescued from their homes during a catastrophic flooding in the south-west region. The dark circles in their homes serve as a haunting reminder of the devastation caused by torrential rains that overflowed all the rivers in the area. The image, originally engraved and published in "Le petit journal" on July 18,1897, is part of the Selva Collection curated by Michel, P. H. G. V. This historical artifact provides us with a glimpse into an era when natural disasters were documented through engravings for mass consumption. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography brings this engraving to life, allowing us to witness firsthand the bravery and determination displayed during rescue operations. The intensity captured within this frame serves as a testament to human resilience even amidst overwhelming adversity. As we gaze upon this poignant image, we are transported back to late 19th century France, where communities rallied together to support one another in times of crisis. It reminds us that throughout history, floods have tested our strength and unity as societies. This photograph not only showcases Leonard de Selva's artistic talent but also highlights the importance of preserving historical records for future generations. It stands as a powerful reminder that while time may pass and technologies may evolve, compassion and solidarity remain timeless virtues essential for overcoming any challenge life throws our way.
