EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "ST. LOUIS: TORNADO, 1896" takes us back to a moment of devastation in American history. The image captures the aftermath of a destructive tornado that struck St. Louis, Missouri on May 27th, 1896. It is an illustration sourced from a contemporary American newspaper. The scene depicted in this photograph showcases the immense destruction caused by the tornado's wrath. Rubble and debris are scattered across the city streets, testifying to the power unleashed by nature during this catastrophic event. Men and women can be seen amidst the wreckage, surveying the damage with somber expressions on their faces. Intriguingly, this snapshot also provides glimpses into daily life at the turn of the century in St. Louis. The bustling avenue lined with buildings gives us a sense of what urban living looked like during that era. Additionally, we catch sight of ships docked along the Mississippi River harbor nearby - remnants of another aspect integral to St. Louis' identity as a river city. This print serves as a poignant reminder not only of Mother Nature's unpredictable force but also highlights human resilience in times of adversity. It allows us to reflect upon our shared history and appreciate how far we have come since those dark days in late 19th-century America.
