EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A tragic incident during a drinking game played by German students" depicts a chilling moment frozen in time. Created by the French School in the 20th century, this colour lithograph captures an ill-fated recreation of William Tell's famous apple-shooting scene, with a twist. In this tragic reimagining, instead of an apple and bow and arrow, we see a glass of beer and a pistol. However, what was intended as harmless fun quickly turns into disaster as the shot goes awry. The consequences are devastatingly fatal. The image portrays the aftermath of this misadventure with great detail and emotion. Shocked faces surround the fallen student who paid the ultimate price for recklessness. The horror is palpable as witnesses grapple with the reality of tragedy unfolding before their eyes. This artwork serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that can arise from excessive alcohol consumption and careless behavior. It highlights how even seemingly innocent games can have dire consequences when boundaries are pushed too far. Through its powerful imagery, this print prompts us to reflect on our own actions and choices while cautioning against indulging in excesses that may lead to irreversible outcomes. It stands as both a somber tribute to those affected by such incidents and an important lesson about responsibility when it comes to alcohol consumption.
