The Primeval Storm
Dense rain falls before dark trees and a pale pool of water. The vertical streaks connect the sky with the flooded foreground, making weather the scene’s central action. The printed caption names the Primeval Storm. Donnelly places the image within his account of ancient catastrophe and its remembered effects.
