Framed Print of Chios, where the Great Earthquake took place on Sunday, April 3, 1881. Creator: Unknown
Chios, where the Great Earthquake took place on Sunday, April 3, 1881. The most terrible disaster of this kind in recent times, causing the destruction of several thousand human lives, befell the small island of Chios, or Scio, in the Grecian Archipelago...A correspondent of the Times, who has visited Chios, says that such u picture of desolation he had rarely witnessed. "The town looks as if it had been subjected to a terrible bombardment; hundreds of houses have been transformed into a shapeless mass of ruins, under which lie buried an unknown number of victims...A medical commission is sitting to consider whether it would not be well to refrain from removing the rubbish in the fortress, and cover it over with earth; for there is no hope of saving any lives, and the disinterment of the dead at present might produce epidemic. At present it is believed that throughout the whole island, which contains some 70, 000 inhabitants, about six or seven thousand have been killed, and nearly 25 per cent of the survivors wounded. Some wonderful escapes have occurred. One woman was buried under the ruins for fifty-two hours, and at last was rescued, having given birth meantime to a child. The latter is dead, but the mother is doing well". From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
