EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the aftermath of the devastating Mino-Owari earthquake in Gifu, Japan, in 1891. The creator remains unknown but their lens captured a haunting scene of destruction and devastation. The image showcases a landscape transformed by natural phenomena, with buildings reduced to rubble and debris scattered across the exterior. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sheer power unleashed during an earthquake, leaving behind a trail of damage that forever alters architectural structures. Published by George Newnes Ltd in London in 1895 as part of "Round the World in Pictures and Photographs" this photograph transports viewers to another time period - the nineteenth century. The monochrome aesthetic adds an additional layer of melancholy to this already somber depiction. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of the physical destruction caused by earthquakes but also of humanity's resilience and ability to rebuild after such catastrophic events. This print is a testament to our shared history and serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst chaos, there is always hope for renewal.
