EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures a tragic incident that occurred in a factory near Charleroi, Belgium, back in 1925. In the midst of his work, a laborer accidentally fell onto steel bars heated to an intense white temperature. The horrifying scene shows the worker burning alive as his colleagues desperately try to rescue him. The illustration was originally featured in "Le petit journal" on May 24th, 1925, and is now part of a private collection. Created by an anonymous artist but credited to Stefano Bianchetti, this engraving depicts the harsh realities faced by workers during the industrial era. The image serves as a stark reminder of the dangers and risks associated with manual labor. It highlights not only the physical hazards present within factories but also showcases the bravery and camaraderie displayed by fellow workers attempting to save their unfortunate colleague. As we reflect upon this tragic event from history, it is crucial to acknowledge how far workplace safety has come since then. This powerful artwork reminds us of our responsibility to prioritize employee well-being and ensure safe working conditions for all individuals today.
