Drooggebleven straat met een dam tijdens de overstroming van Parijs 1910 - 1911

"Drooggebleven straat met een dam tijdens de overstroming van Parijs" (Dry street with a dam during the flood of Paris), taken by G. Dangereux between 1910 and 1911, is a poignant photograph documenting the aftermath of the 1910 Seine flood in Paris. The image captures a quiet Parisian street, the water receded, with a solitary lamp post standing tall against the backdrop of buildings. The photographer's choice to focus on the lamp post, symbolizing resilience and hope, offers a stark contrast to the destruction left behind by the flood.
