Flooding in Lyon, France, 1910: A Baker's Resilient Delivery In this evocative photograph, taken in January 1910, the historic city of Lyon, France, is in the grip of a massive flood caused by the relentless rise of the River Rhone. The water level had surged to unprecedented heights, leaving many parts of the city stranded and isolated. Amidst the chaos, a determined baker and his young boys navigate their traditional bateau boat through the flooded streets, delivering fresh loaves of bread to a local Brasserie restaurant. The restaurant, like many others, had been cut off from all other forms of transportation, making this baker's delivery an essential lifeline for its patrons. The baker skillfully rows the boat, his boys expertly maneuvering the oars, as they make their way through the murky waters. The loaves of bread, precariously balanced on the boat, are protected from the elements by a waterproof tarp. The scene is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Lyon in the face of adversity. The Rhone River, usually a source of life and commerce for the city, had become a formidable adversary. Yet, even in the midst of such a disaster, the essential services continued, with the baker and his boys braving the floodwaters to ensure that the people of Lyon had their daily bread. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a poignant reminder of the power of nature and the indomitable spirit of the human spirit. It is a snapshot of a moment in history that speaks to the enduring strength and adaptability of the people of Lyon and their ability to weather even the most challenging of circumstances.
