Clarendon Road, Southsea, After A Thunderstorm, 1901
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the aftermath of a thunderstorm that struck Clarendon Road in Southsea back in 1901. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing a moment frozen in time is undeniable. The scene depicts a street flooded with rainwater, transforming the once familiar road into an unexpected waterway. People are seen wading through ankle-deep water while others patiently wait for the flood to recede. Among them are men and women dressed in early 20th-century attire, their faces etched with expressions of surprise and curiosity. In this snapshot of history, horse-drawn vehicles such as carts and buses can be spotted struggling to navigate through the watery obstacle course. An open-topped double-decker bus stands out amidst the chaos as passengers peer out from its upper deck, trapped by nature's fury. Despite the havoc wreaked by Mother Nature's wrath, there is an air of resilience among those captured within this frame. They stand tall against adversity and continue with their daily lives even after being caught off guard by bad weather. This photograph serves as a testament to both human perseverance and our vulnerability when faced with unpredictable forces beyond our control. It reminds us that no matter how advanced our transportation systems may become or how much we try to tame nature itself, we will always remain subject to its whimsical power.
