Attacked Criminal Postman Robber Robbery Robbing Strangling

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A postman attacked on the road to Presles, France" takes us back in time to a chilling incident that occurred in rural France during the 20th century. The colour lithograph, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases a moment of violence and crime unfolding amidst the peaceful countryside. In this scene, we witness a postman being brutally assaulted by an unknown assailant. The image depicts the postman being robbed and strangled on his route to Presles, France. It is evident that this act of aggression was unexpected and caught him off guard. The composition of the artwork beautifully captures both the tranquility of the French countryside and the sudden eruption of criminal activity within it. The vibrant colours used in this lithograph add depth and intensity to every element portrayed - from the picturesque road winding through fields to the menacing figure attacking our unsuspecting protagonist. This powerful illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Parisien newspaper on January 29th, 1905. Its inclusion serves as a stark reminder that even idyllic landscapes can be marred by acts of violence and wrongdoing. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time while contemplating themes such as safety, vulnerability, and justice.
