EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The City of Kushan, in Persia, recently destroyed by an Earthquake" takes us back to a tragic event that unfolded in the 19th century. The image portrays the aftermath of a devastating earthquake that struck the ancient city of Kushan in Persia (modern-day Iran). As we gaze upon this historical print, our eyes are drawn to the crumbling structures and debris scattered across the cityscape. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness the immense destruction caused by nature's wrath. It is a haunting scene that evokes both awe and sorrow. The once-thriving city now lies in ruins, its grandeur reduced to rubble. We can only imagine the lives affected and lost during this catastrophic event. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's vulnerability against natural disasters and how they can reshape entire landscapes within moments. Preserved within a private collection, this artwork originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on December 9th, 1893. Its inclusion in such a widely read publication speaks volumes about its significance at that time. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we have been granted access to this historical gem – allowing us to reflect on past tragedies while appreciating art's ability to capture profound moments from our shared history.
