EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph, titled "A Bride in Danger" captures a moment of both danger and heroism. The artwork, created by Oswaldo Tofani in the early 20th century, depicts a married couple's carriage being pulled uncontrollably by a runaway horse. In this scene of chaos and potential disaster, a brave soldier intervenes to seize the bridle of the horse, preventing harm from befalling the bride. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays the intensity of this dramatic event. The vibrant colours bring life to every element within the composition - from the terrified expressions on the faces of the newlyweds to their elegantly adorned carriage. This image was originally published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on May 6th, 1900. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of celebration and joy such as weddings, unforeseen challenges can arise. However, it also celebrates acts of bravery and heroism that can turn these dangerous situations into stories worth remembering. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness not only an extraordinary act but also glimpse into French culture during that era. This piece encapsulates themes such as marriage, courage, transportations systems like post chaises and Pullman cars prevalent at that time. Overall, "A Bride in Danger" is not just a beautiful work of art; it tells a story filled with tension and triumph while offering us insight into historical events surrounding marriage traditions and societal values
