EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of true heroism and bravery in Ris-Orangis, France. In the midst of bustling railway tracks, a courageous level crossing guard is seen saving an elderly man from being struck by an oncoming train. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the intensity and urgency of the situation. Dated back to January 14th, 1912, this illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Parisien (Supplement Litteraire Illustre), showcasing the incredible act that unfolded on that fateful day. The steam locomotive adds a touch of nostalgia to the scene, reminding us of a time when trains were at their peak as a mode of transportation. The image serves as a powerful reminder of human compassion and selflessness. It highlights not only the quick thinking and alertness displayed by the crossing guard but also emphasizes the importance of looking out for one another in times of danger. In today's fast-paced world, where acts like these often go unnoticed or unappreciated, it is heartwarming to witness such courage and dedication towards protecting others. This print serves as an encouragement for all generations to embrace empathy and extend helping hands whenever possible. Through this artwork, we are reminded that heroes can be found in unexpected places - ordinary individuals who rise above their own fears to save lives. It stands as a testament to the power we hold within ourselves to make a difference in someone else's life through acts both big and small.
