EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Large Elm torn up by the late Hurricane, at Magdalen College, Oxford" takes us back to a moment of natural devastation in the 19th century. The image showcases the aftermath of a powerful hurricane that swept through Magdalen College, leaving behind a scene of destruction and chaos. In this print, we see an enormous elm tree uprooted from its foundation, its massive roots exposed to the world above ground. The sheer force of the storm is evident as branches lie scattered around the fallen giant. The surrounding landscape appears desolate and battered by nature's fury. The artist skillfully captures both the physical impact of the hurricane and its emotional resonance. We can almost feel the weighty silence that must have enveloped Magdalen College after such a catastrophic event. This engraving serves as a reminder of our vulnerability in the face of nature's power and our capacity for resilience in rebuilding what has been lost. Published in The Illustrated London News on January 8th, 1853, this artwork not only documents historical storm damage but also acts as a testament to human curiosity and fascination with capturing significant moments visually. It allows us to reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging that nature will always hold dominion over us all.
