EDITORS COMMENTS
The End of the Bandit: On 27 April 1912, a dramatic siege unfolded in Choisy-le-Roi as Prefet of Police Louis Lepine and Captain Felix Fontan of the Republican Guard surrounded the house of notorious bandit Jules Bonnot. This print captures the intensity and danger of that fateful day. In this gripping image, we see Bonnot's house engulfed in chaos as law enforcement officers desperately try to apprehend him. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation, as bullets fly through the air and projectiles rain down on the fortified building. Amidst this chaos, one detail stands out – a mattress rolled up against a wall. It becomes clear that Bonnot had taken desperate measures to protect himself from harm. Seeking refuge behind this makeshift shield, he braved the relentless assault unleashed upon him. The engraving from "Le Petite Journal" offers us a glimpse into this historic event, immortalizing it for generations to come. With its impeccable detailing and haunting atmosphere, it transports us back to that momentous day when justice finally caught up with Jules Bonnot. This remarkable print serves as a testament to both human resilience and determination in times of crisis.
