EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the resilient spirit of Parisians during the devastating floods that hit the city in January 1910. The Quai de Billy, along the Seine River, is shown in a state of chaos as people frantically load their possessions onto carts and wagons for relocation. The once serene waterfront is now a scene of frenzied activity, with mattresses, furniture, and other household items being transported away from the flooded area. The Navy Hotel, prominently featured in the image, bears witness to the unprecedented event that forced its residents to seek temporary shelter elsewhere. The Parisian community came together in the face of adversity, demonstrating their strength and determination to rebuild and recover from the floodwaters. This poignant moment in history serves as a reminder of the power of nature and the indomitable human spirit.
