EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a haunting moment in history - "The Recent Disastrous Floods at Hong Kong, 1889: the Drain Bursting in Zetland Street". The image transports us back to a time when nature's fury wreaked havoc on this bustling city. In this particular scene, Zetland Street is submerged under water as floodwaters surge through the drain. The sheer force of the water bursting forth is evident, leaving destruction and chaos in its wake. Queens Road, once a busy thoroughfare, now lies inundated by the relentless deluge. As our eyes wander further into the frame, we witness another calamity unfolding - the overflow of Tytam Waterworks' service tank. This catastrophic event adds insult to injury as it exacerbates an already dire situation caused by an unforgiving storm. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of humanity's vulnerability against Mother Nature's wrath. It evokes feelings of awe and sympathy for those who endured such devastation during that fateful year. While we cannot comprehend fully what it must have been like for those caught in this disaster over a century ago, this print allows us to bear witness to their struggles and resilience. It stands as a testament to Hong Kong's ability to rebuild and recover from even the most disastrous events throughout its rich history.
