EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history as the French Minister of War presents a medal to an injured soldier. The colour litho artwork, created by Jose Belon, showcases the bravery and heroism displayed by Bugler Goblet during a devastating fire at the Paris Opera. The image depicts Bugler Goblet lying in a hospital bed, bandaged and wounded from the fire that ravaged the scenery store on Rue Richer. Despite his injuries, he is adorned with pride as the Minister of War bestows upon him a well-deserved military decoration. The scene evokes feelings of admiration for both men involved - one for his selfless act of courage amidst chaos and destruction, and the other for recognizing and honoring such valor. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers in service to their country. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph bring life to every detail - from Goblet's bandages to the minister's military uniform. The composition beautifully captures not only their physical surroundings but also conveys emotions such as resilience and determination. This historical piece offers us a glimpse into 19th-century France, showcasing its rich culture and unwavering spirit even in times of adversity. It reminds us that heroes can be found among everyday people who rise above challenges with extraordinary acts of bravery.
