EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Volcanic Eruption at Java, Views of Krakatoa and Anjer, now Completely Destroyed" takes us back to a momentous event in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the sheer power and devastation unleashed by nature. The image showcases the south-eastern side of Anjer Hill, revealing its topography before it was ravaged by volcanic activity. In stark contrast to its former glory, we witness the aftermath of destruction caused by a volcanic eruption on the island of Krakatoa in the Sunda Straits. Intriguingly, amidst this desolation stands a lighthouse on Krakatoa—a symbol of human resilience against nature's fury. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that even in times of chaos and ruin, there is always hope and determination. "The Volcanic Eruption at Java" transports us back to September 1883 when The Graphic published this illustration. It offers viewers a glimpse into an awe-inspiring yet terrifying natural phenomenon that forever altered these landscapes. As we observe this historical artwork from afar today, let us reflect upon our own vulnerability as humans living on this ever-changing planet. May it serve as a testament to both nature's destructive force and humanity's indomitable spirit.
