EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Avalanches in the Zuge, Davos-Platz, Engadine, Switzerland" takes us back to the summer of 1888. The scene depicts a dramatic moment in time when nature's power is unleashed upon the picturesque Swiss landscape. In this print, we witness a chaotic spectacle as avalanches cascade down from the towering mountainsides. The passing road and nearby river are no match for these immense forces of nature. The ground beneath our feet appears undermined and unstable, adding to the sense of danger that permeates the image. Amidst this tumultuous scene stands a lone child, seemingly unaffected by the chaos surrounding them. Perhaps they represent resilience or innocence amidst adversity. Blocks of snow tumble around them as if frozen mid-fall, creating an eerie yet mesmerizing atmosphere. The topography of Davos-Platz is split apart by these powerful avalanches, leaving behind a lasting impression on both its physical landscape and those who witnessed it firsthand. This engraving serves as a reminiscence of that fateful summer and reminds us of nature's awe-inspiring might. Through this artwork, we are transported to an era long gone but forever captured in this intricate engraving. It invites us to reflect on our own relationship with nature and marvel at its ability to shape our world in ways both beautiful and terrifying.
