EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the aftermath of a devastating storm that wreaked havoc on Old Ford, Bow. The ruins of once sturdy buildings stand as a haunting reminder of the destructive power unleashed by nature's wrath. The scene is filled with an eerie stillness, as if time itself has been frozen in this moment of destruction. The artist skillfully portrays the collapsed structures, their jagged edges and broken windows testifying to the forceful winds that tore through them. Debris litters the ground, scattered remnants of what was once bustling life. London's skyline looms in the distance, serving as a stark contrast to this desolate landscape. It is a testament to human resilience and determination in rebuilding after such devastation. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of our vulnerability against nature's fury. Yet it also serves as a poignant reminder of our ability to rebuild and rise above adversity. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on February 15th, 1868 - forever preserving this historical event for generations to come. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection ensures its accessibility for all who wish to delve into history's depths and witness firsthand how storms can become weapons against even the sturdiest buildings.
