EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting etching and watercolor depiction of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in recorded history, comes from the "Augsburgische Sammlung" by J.M. Roth, published in Augsburg, Germany, in 1756. The image is anonymous, adding to the mystery and intrigue surrounding its creation. The earthquake struck on November 1, 1755, with an estimated magnitude of 8.5 to 9.0, causing widespread destruction in Lisbon, Portugal, and triggering a devastating tsunami. The illustration captures the chaos and devastation wrought by the earthquake, with buildings reduced to rubble, people running in terror, and the sea receding ominously in the background before unleashing a destructive wave. The fine art image, a beautiful example of 18th-century graphic arts, serves as a poignant reminder of the power of nature and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Today, this rare and evocative work remains a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and a testament to the enduring impact of the Great Lisbon Earthquake.
