EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the raw power and destruction of a tornado that swept through Oklahoma City between 1913 and 1917. The photograph, created by Harris & Ewing, offers a glimpse into the past when the unpredictable forces of nature held an unyielding grip over communities across the United States. The scene is set in a small American town, where the once peaceful streets are now a chaotic tableau of destruction. Dust and debris swirl around the air, as the tornado's funnel cloud looms ominously in the distance. The stillness of the moment is shattered by the violent winds that tear through the frame, leaving behind a trail of devastation. The photographers, George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, captured this dramatic image using a glass negative technique. Their photographic studio, Harris Ewing Inc., was a leading provider of news and editorial photographs during the early 20th century. This image, along with countless others, offers a unique perspective into the past, allowing us to bear witness to the raw power of nature and the resilience of those who lived through it. The tornado, a natural phenomenon that can bring both awe and fear, is a reminder of the unpredictable forces that shape our world. This image stands as a testament to the danger and peril that comes with living in the heart of America's tornado alley. Despite the destruction, there is a sense of beauty in the image, a reminder of the power and majesty of nature, even in its most destructive form.
