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.

He took the name O'Brien to claim descent from the legendarily gigantic Brian Boru. Working on the sideshow circuit he became quite wealthy, leaving £2,000 to his mother when he died. He left his clothes to his servant, who displayed them on a mannequin in the Haymarket; his boots are still on display in the Kinsale Museum. Cotter requested that his body be entombed within twelve feet of solid rock to prevent exhumation for scientific or medical research; however in 1972 his remains were examined and his height verified.

He took the name O'Brien to claim descent from the legendarily gigantic Brian Boru. Working on the sideshow circuit he became quite wealthy, leaving £2,000 to his mother when he died. He left his clothes to his servant, who displayed them on a mannequin in the Haymarket; his boots are still on display in the Kinsale Museum. Cotter requested that his body be entombed within twelve feet of solid rock to prevent exhumation for scientific or medical research; however in 1972 his remains were examined and his height verified.
