This is an original 1952 vernacular snapshot photograph depicting a dramatic scene of a bus partially submerged in floodwaters. In the background, a large, multi-story building, possibly a school or public institution, stands with several people gathered on higher ground. A traffic light is visible above the street, adding to the urban or suburban setting of this historical moment. The photograph captures a candid, everyday event turned extraordinary by the natural elements.

This vintage photograph features the handwritten notation "1952" on the front lower right corner, providing a clear date for the event. The reverse side of the photograph includes a stamped identifier "161E." This listing includes one (1) original unmounted snapshot photograph, a true piece of found photography showcasing mid-century life and local history. It is a silver gelatin print, characteristic of photographs from this era.
