EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting photograph, titled "Drowned Lands of Raquette Lake," was captured by Seneca Ray Stoddard in the late 19th century. The image, printed in 1888, depicts a desolate scene of a flooded landscape in the United States. The once vibrant and lively area around Raquette Lake in New York State has been transformed into a somber and melancholic tableau. The photograph captures the aftermath of a devastating flood that inundated the land, leaving behind only the tops of trees and the occasional submerged tree trunk. A lone man, dressed in a heavy coat and hat, stands on the edge of the lake, gazing out at the desolation before him. His downcast expression reflects the despair and loss felt by the community. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the destructive power of nature and the transience of human life. The image is also a testament to the rich heritage of American photography and the important role it plays in documenting the country's history and natural wonders. This photograph is part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and was taken by renowned American photographer Seneca Ray Stoddard. Stoddard was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of a scene. This photograph, with its stark contrasts and evocative imagery, is a prime example of his skill and artistry.
