Framed Print of The Earthquake at Casamicciola, Island of Ischia, 1881. Creator: Unknown
The Earthquake at Casamicciola, Island of Ischia, [southern Italy], 1881. 1. Searching for the bodies of the dead. 2. Spezieria and Santa Barbara-street. 3. Carrying away the dead. 4. In the ruins of the Church of the Purgatorio...[Engravings from photographs] of this calamitous visitation of nature, which took place on Friday, the 4th March, and which caused the loss of 120 lives...The dead bodies...were carried away by gangs of Neapolitan convicts or criminals under sentence of penal servitude, who are still called "galley-slaves"...Three hundred houses were destroyed; and for the shelter of the houseless people a number of little wooden huts have been put up. The inhabitants were unwilling to be removed from the site of their former homes, as they mostly possess little orchards of olives and fruit, or vineyards, over which it is necessary to have a vigilant eye...The Church of the Purgatorio was entirely destroyed; the decorations and organ lay in the middle of the ruins, broken into a thousand pieces, but a statue representing a soul in purgatory, which was in a niche above the door, was found uninjured, and turned completely round on its pedestal. Of course the people cried "A miracle!". From "Illustrated London News", 1881. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images
