[Nuremberg flood of 1784] Der durch Nürnberg, fliesende Pegniz Flus, wie selbiger im Jahr 1784. von 27. bis 28. Februar...
Nach der Natur gezeschen et und gestochen von J.L. Stahl Norb. 1784.
Zu finden beÿ E.C. Grattenaur in Nürnberg [n.d., c.1784].
Rare etching. Sheet 265 x 465mm (10 ½ x 18¼"). Trimmed to plate, creased, with some wear.
In Feburary 1784 the Pegnitz River flooded the city of Nuremberg, sweeping away houses. It was caused by the eruption of the Iclandic volcano Laki, not only spewing out basalt lava but also belching clouds of hydrofluoric acid and sulfur dioxide compounds into the air. The resulting clouds caused a mini ice-age, causing heavy snow falls and hail large enough to kill cattle in Europe and the Mississippi to freeze at New Orleans. The thaw of the extra snow in the spring caused floods throughout Europe. This view of the devastation was drawn by the engraver Johann Ludwig Stahl (1759-1818) who witnessed the catastrophe.
Ex collection of Christopher Lennox Boyd.
