EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating flooding that struck London in 1928. The seriousness of this natural disaster was not fully realized until the Embankment at Westminster gave way, causing widespread destruction and chaos. Taken from "The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures" published by Odhams Press Ltd. in London, 1935, this image transports us back to a time when Britain was grappling with the aftermath of severe weather conditions. In this monochrome snapshot, we see a city engulfed by water as the River Thames breaches its banks. People can be seen navigating through flooded streets and riverbanks, their resilience evident amidst such adversity. The unknown creator of this photograph has skillfully captured both the physical impact on the landscape and the human experience during these trying times. It serves as a reminder of how unpredictable nature can be and how communities come together to face challenges head-on. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, it is impossible not to reflect on our own vulnerability to climate change and extreme weather events today. This image stands as a testament to London's past struggles with flood defense while urging us to take proactive measures for a more resilient future.
