Brisbane flood of 1893: Mary St Size:80 x 104 cm (A0) Goos's Sea Atlas was publishedCreator Poul C. Poulson (1857 1925) Date 1893 Following a week of rain, including a fall of one metre in 24 hours, the Great Flood of 1893 cost 35 lives and swept away the Victoria Bridge. Poulson's photos capture the event with a surreal immediacy. The scene looks picturesquely venetian with Brisbane's beautiful 19th century architecture, boats penetrating the city's flooded streets, people crowded onto balconies and or wading between city blocks
