EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a moment of immense natural power and destruction. Titled "The Volcanic Eruption at Java, Indonesia" it offers three distinct views that capture the devastating aftermath of the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883. In the first image, we are presented with a glimpse of the South-Eastern side of Krakatoa Island. The once serene landscape is now transformed into a chaotic scene, with billowing smoke and ash engulfing the sky. Moving on to the second view, we witness Anjer Hill from the North-West across the Sunda Straits. The hill stands as a solitary witness to nature's fury, surrounded by turbulent waters and remnants of destruction. Finally, our gaze falls upon Anjer itself in the third image. Despite being partially destroyed by this cataclysmic event, its lighthouse defiantly remains intact amidst ruins. This juxtaposition serves as a symbol of hope amidst devastation—a testament to humanity's resilience in face of adversity. Through its intricate engravement technique and Victorian aesthetic charm, this vintage print not only captures an important historical event but also showcases artistic mastery. It invites us to reflect on both nature's awe-inspiring power and our own place within it. As we admire this historic artwork from another era, let us remember those whose lives were forever changed by this volcanic eruption—an event etched indelibly into history for generations to come.
