"Trein op het perron van Maisons-Alfort tijdens de overstroming van Parijs" (Train on the platform of Maisons-Alfort during the flooding of Paris), a black and white photograph by G. Dangereux, captures the dramatic aftermath of the 1910 Paris flood. The image showcases a steam engine train partially obscured by smoke, with a single figure in the distance, highlighting the isolation and hardship of the moment. The photograph's small scale, measuring 52 mm in height and 59 mm in width, contributes to its intimate portrayal of the event. This work offers a poignant glimpse into a historical event, underscoring the power of photography to document the human experience.
