EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heart-wrenching moment in history - the accident of a tramway in Clichy, Paris. In this powerful image, we witness a father's worst nightmare unfold before our eyes as he falls to the ground while desperately clutching his baby in his arms. The vulnerability and helplessness of both father and child are palpable. Taken from "Le Petit Journal" on June 6,1909, this engraving by an anonymous French artist encapsulates the chaos and danger that can be found within public transport systems. The bustling streets of Paris serve as the backdrop for this tragic event, reminding us of the unpredictable nature of urban life during that era. The monochromatic color scheme adds to the intensity and drama depicted in this artwork. Every line etched into paper tells a story - one filled with fear, panic, and concern for these innocent lives caught up in an unforeseen catastrophe. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from over a century ago, it serves as a poignant reminder of how fragile life can be. It also highlights the importance of safety measures within transportation systems to protect not only adults but also vulnerable children who rely on their caregivers for security. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful reproduction allows us to reflect on past tragedies while appreciating art's ability to immortalize significant moments in time.
