EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of a powerful lightning strike that struck a house in Hastings, England. The remains of the once sturdy structure now lay in ruins, bearing witness to the immense force of nature's fury. Engraved by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century, this image was originally published in The Illustrated London News on June 16,1855. The striking visual showcases a scene both awe-inspiring and devastating. Forked lightning streaks across the sky, illuminating the destruction below. It serves as a reminder of how vulnerable we are to the whims of weather and meteorological events. Meteorologists and scientists have long been fascinated by lightning strikes and their impact on our climate. This engraving not only documents an extraordinary event but also highlights humanity's ongoing quest for understanding through scientific methods. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we can't help but marvel at its ability to transport us back in time. It invites us to reflect on our relationship with nature and reminds us that even amidst chaos and destruction, there is beauty to be found.
