The Johnstown Flood (locally, the Great Flood of 1889) occurred on May 31, 1889, after the catastrophic failure of the South Fork Dam on the Little Conemaugh River 14 miles (23 km) upstream of the town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, USA. The dam broke after several days of extremely heavy rainfall, unleashing 20 million tons of water (18 million cubic meters) from the reservoir known as Lake Conemaugh. With a flow rate that temporarily equaled that of the Mississippi River, the flood killed 2,209 people and caused damage about $425 million in 2012 dollars. Kurz & Allison of Chicago published a color lithograph in 1890 which became one of the popular works of art of the age in America. In the upper right a dam bursts and overwhelms the citizens of Johnstown below. Kurz and Allison were a major publisher of chromolithographs in the late 19th century. Based in Chicago, they built their reputation on large prints published in the mid-1880s depicting battles of the American Civil War and great events in America.
