EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serious accident that occurred on the site of the Exposition Universelle of 1900 in Paris, France. The colour lithograph, created by Oswaldo Tofani and featured in Le Petit Journal on October 29th, 1899, depicts a grave incident where nine workers were injured when a section of the exhibition pavilion's framework collapsed. The image showcases the bustling construction site with builders and laborers diligently working amidst towering timber structures. However, tragedy struck as one section gave way, causing chaos and panic among those present. The wounded workers can be seen scattered across the scene, their injuries evident. This photograph not only serves as a historical record but also highlights the risks faced by individuals working in the construction industry during this era. It emphasizes both the dangers associated with such projects and the importance of safety measures to protect workers' well-being. Through this artwork, we are reminded of how accidents like these can have profound consequences for those involved and their families. It underscores society's ongoing efforts to improve workplace safety standards and ensure that incidents like this become increasingly rare occurrences. As we reflect upon this moment captured over a century ago, it is an opportunity to appreciate advancements made in medicine and healthcare since then.
