EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the aftermath of the devastating floods that hit the Netherlands in the year 1861, specifically in the region of Bommelerwoard, Guelder. The natural phenomenon had left an estimated 300 people displaced and in need of shelter. Amidst the chaos and destruction, the castle of Ammerzade became a refuge for those affected. Despite the castle itself being partially submerged in water, it offered a sense of safety and security to those seeking refuge. The photograph provides a poignant glimpse into the resilience and determination of the people during this trying time, as they came together to weather the storm and support one another. The floodwaters may have ravaged their homes and livelihoods, but they refused to let it break their spirit. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the unpredictable and transformative power of nature, and the human capacity to adapt and persevere in the face of adversity.
