Carying Chemists Heat Heatwave Pharmacy Unconscious Victim
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating effects of a scorching heatwave that swept through Paris in the early 20th century. The image showcases a victim of sunstroke, lying unconscious on a bustling street, as concerned passersby gather around. The vibrant colours of the lithograph bring to life the intensity and harshness of the summer heat. The scene unfolds outside a French pharmacy, where chemists rush to aid the stricken individual. The sweltering weather has taken its toll on this unfortunate soul, leaving them helpless and in need of immediate medical attention. This powerful illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Journal on August 13th, 1911, underlining its historical significance. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by extreme temperatures during heatwaves. It highlights both the vulnerability and resilience of humanity in face of such natural disasters. As we gaze upon this poignant image from our private collection, we are transported back to an era when climate change was already wreaking havoc on cities like Paris. Through this artwork's depiction of suffering and compassion amidst adversity, it prompts us to reflect upon our own responsibility towards combating global warming today. Let us not forget those who have fallen victim to past heatwaves while striving for a more sustainable future for all nations affected by rising temperatures - including France and its overseas territories.
