Mannen voeren een reddingsaktie uit op straat tijdens de overstroming van Parijs 1910 - 1911

"Mannen voeren een reddingsaktie uit op straat tijdens de overstroming van Parijs" is a black and white photograph by G. Dangereux, taken between 1910 and 1911, documenting a rescue operation in the flood-stricken streets of Paris. The image captures the raw reality of the situation, showing men wading through the floodwaters, using ropes to assist those in need. The narrow street, lined with buildings and a storefront awning, adds to the sense of claustrophobia and urgency. The photograph serves as a historical record of the devastation caused by the floods and highlights the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
