Légende

Flooded out in Lincolnshire, 1869. 'The extraordinary quantity of rain that has fallen in most parts of England during the last three weeks has caused the overflow of many rivers and the flooding of extensive tracts of land...In Lincolnshire,...the Witham more than once rose above its banks in certain places, and thousands of acres of land were submerged in different parts of the fen country. Here and there a family might be seen in such an uncomfortable plight as is represented in our Engraving, forced to depart from its home and to seek a dry place of temporary abode. The man and wife, with their children, some household furniture and stores, the cat and the poultry, travel slowly in a cart, followed by the wading cow and dog, along the watery road. Let us hope that they will not have a protracted exile to endure'. From "Illustrated London News", 1869.
