Roused Too Late - A Haunting Reminder of the Great Fire of Chicago
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Roused too late" transports us back to the devastating events that unfolded during the infamous Great Fire of Chicago in 1871. The image, captured by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, depicts a scene filled with smoke and destruction. As we gaze upon this print, our eyes are immediately drawn to the terror-stricken faces of those caught in the midst of chaos. Their expressions reflect a mixture of fear, horror, and anguish as they witness their beloved city being consumed by flames. It is a poignant reminder of how quickly life can be turned upside down and how fragile our existence truly is. The artist skillfully portrays not only physical damage but also captures the emotional turmoil experienced by these unfortunate souls. Their anxiety and angst are palpable; it is as if we can feel their desperation to escape from this nightmarish inferno. This artwork serves as a powerful testament to human resilience in times of crisis. It reminds us that even when faced with unimaginable adversity, there remains within us an indomitable spirit that refuses to succumb entirely to despair. Let this haunting image serve as a constant reminder for future generations about the importance of preparedness and vigilance against such catastrophic events. May it inspire us all to appreciate what we have today while striving for safer communities tomorrow.
