EDITORS COMMENTS
Fig. 312 from "La Terre Avant Le Deluge" (The Earth Before the Deluge) by Louis Figuier (1863): A Victorian-era illustration of the "Asiatic Deluge," a violent and turbulent wave engulfing the Asian coastline during a historic storm and flood. The painting, created by French geologist and historian Guillaume-Louis Figuier between 1819 and 1894, captures the destructive power of nature during this imagined prehistoric event. The wave crashes against the cliffs and buildings, uprooting trees and swallowing ships whole. The sky above is filled with dark clouds, suggesting the imminent arrival of a massive storm. The daytime setting adds a sense of urgency and drama, as the tranquil waters of the ocean transform into a chaotic and unforgiving force. This illustration, with its intricate details and vivid colors, offers a fascinating glimpse into the imaginative world of 19th-century exploration and scientific inquiry, as well as the enduring human fascination with the natural world and its mysteries.
