The War, Effects of the late Rain, a Street at Sistova
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that transports us back to the 19th century during the Russo-Turkish war. This powerful image captures the aftermath of heavy rainfall in Sistova, Romania, where a street has been transformed into an unexpected waterway. The scene is filled with chaos and destruction as military personnel navigate through knee-deep floodwaters. The raindrops falling from above are meticulously depicted, emphasizing the relentless nature of this downpour. It serves as a reminder of how weather can drastically impact warfare and everyday life. This engraving not only showcases the artistic skill of the English School but also highlights their ability to capture real-life events for publication in The Illustrated London News. Through their work, we gain insight into historical moments and witness firsthand how meteorological conditions played a role in shaping conflicts. As we observe this print today, it serves as both an aesthetic delight and an important document that sheds light on scientific methods used by meteorologists during that era. Furthermore, it offers us a glimpse into European history and reminds us of Romania's involvement in significant geopolitical events. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from its private collection so that future generations can appreciate its beauty while reflecting on the profound impact climate can have on our lives – even amidst times of war.
