EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "House in Nice, demolished in the Riviera Earthquake, 1887" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the aftermath of a devastating earthquake that struck the beautiful city of Nice on the French Riviera. The scene depicts a once-stunning house now reduced to ruins, its walls crumbled and scattered across the ground. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness the sheer power unleashed by nature during this catastrophic event. It serves as a reminder of how fragile our human creations can be when faced with the forces of Mother Earth. Created by an English School artist from the 19th century, this engraving was originally featured as an illustration for "Our Earth and Its Story" edited by Robert Brown. This publication aimed to educate readers about various natural phenomena and their impact on our planet. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness both destruction and resilience intertwined within one frame. It is a testament to humanity's ability to rebuild and adapt even after facing such adversity. Preserved within private collections today, this engraving continues to serve as a poignant reminder of past events while also showcasing the artistic talent that captures historical moments so vividly.
