EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 20th-century French School transports us back to the scorching summer of 1908 in New York City. Titled "Heat in New York: residents camp in the parks" it showcases a snapshot of life during a relentless heatwave that had gripped the city. The image, originally published in the renowned newspaper "Le Petit Parisien" captures an extraordinary scene where desperate residents sought refuge from the sweltering temperatures by setting up makeshift camps within public gardens. The artist's intricate detailing and use of color bring this historical moment to life, highlighting both the resilience and vulnerability of these individuals facing extreme weather conditions. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how communities come together during challenging times, seeking solace and relief amidst nature's embrace. This rare piece is part of a private collection, preserving not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It serves as a powerful reminder that even over a century ago, people found ways to adapt and survive when faced with adversity. Stefano Bianchetti masterfully captures this poignant moment in time through his skilled engraving technique. Through his work, we are transported back to an era where heatwaves tested human endurance while simultaneously showcasing our innate ability to find comfort and strength within communal spaces such as parks.
