EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic incident that occurred on July 3,1898. The engraving, featured in "Le petit journal" depicts the unfortunate moment when a young walker was seriously injured by the powerful kick of a mare. The image is part of the Selva Collection and was captured by Henri Meyer, an esteemed photographer from the 19th century. The intensity of this scene is palpable as we witness the devastating impact on the chest of the young walker. The forceful blow serves as a stark reminder of both the beauty and danger inherent in our interactions with animals. Meyer's skillful composition highlights not only the immediate aftermath but also provides insight into life during this era. It offers us a glimpse into France's rich history, showcasing its agricultural roots and close relationship with horses. From racehorses to ponies, shire horses to stallions, livestock played an integral role in French culture at that time. As we observe this historical artifact from Leonard de Selva's private collection, it becomes clear that moments like these remind us of our vulnerability amidst nature's wildness. This photograph serves as a testament to both human resilience and our enduring connection with animals throughout history.
