EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Commencement Of The Earthquake At Messina, 1783" takes us back in time to witness a moment of sheer chaos and devastation. Engraved by Berry after Craig, this powerful illustration captures the horrifying scene that unfolded during the earthquake at Messina. The horizontal composition allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the magnitude of this natural disaster. The plate showcases buildings crumbling under the force of nature, as terrified residents scramble for safety amidst collapsing structures. The engraving technique used adds depth and texture to every line, enhancing our understanding of the destruction caused by this catastrophic event. Published in London around 1823 as part of "The Gallery Of Nature And Art Volume II" this historical print serves as a reminder of humanity's vulnerability when faced with such immense power. It transports us back to a time long gone but leaves an indelible mark on our collective memory. Ken Welsh's masterful capture not only documents history but also evokes emotions within us. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but feel awe-struck by Mother Nature's might and humbled by our own insignificance in comparison. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it is a testament to resilience and survival against all odds. It reminds us that even in moments of darkness, there is always hope for rebirth and renewal – just like how Messina rose from its ruins after that fateful day in 1783.
