"Meaulle Fortune Louis: A Glimpse into the Engravings of History" Step back in time to witness the haunting events captured by Meaulle Fortune Louis through his intricate engravings. From the devastating plague that ravaged Milan in 1630-1631 to the heart-wrenching deportation of Queen Nathalie from Serbia, these images transport us to pivotal moments in history. In 1891, Meaulle's engraving depicted Queen Natalija of Serbia being torn away from her beloved Belgrade, leaving behind a legacy marked by resilience and strength. The image immortalizes Natalie Keshko, also known as Nathalie (Natalija) Kechko, as she faced an uncertain future with grace. The dark shadows cast upon Florida's history are revealed through Meaulle's depiction of four black men lynched for allegedly murdering a master of works in 1892. This chilling engraving serves as a reminder of the injustices endured during that era. Meaulle's artistry also sheds light on French colonial troops executing spies in Algeria and captures the tragic game of blind man's buff played amidst turmoil. Additionally, he portrays harrowing scenes such as a young man cut into pieces and a French policeman losing his life while serving duty – each illustration evoking emotions beyond words. The vivid lithographs showcase executions by garrotte in Spain and depict poignant moments like when a pretty blond young man sees his proposal met with laughter from both father and daughter. These illustrations bring forth complex human emotions frozen within frames forever etched by Meaulle’s hand. Furthermore, we glimpse into military prisons where shootings occur and witness an execution aboard a warship – revealing stories often untold but crucial to understanding our past. Through his engravings, Meaulle Fortune Louis invites us to reflect on humanity’s triumphs and tragedies alike.
