EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a tragic moment in history. In the rugged terrain of Epierre, Savoy, a car belonging to the 13th battalion of the Alpine Hunters has met with disaster. The image shows the vehicle teetering on the edge of a ravine, its fate hanging precariously in the balance. The scene is filled with tension as we can only imagine what led to this mountain accident. The French School artist skillfully depicts the harshness and unforgiving nature of the Alps through intricate details and shading techniques. The print, sourced from "Le Petit Parisien" newspaper dated July 17th, 1904, offers us a glimpse into an era when accidents like these were not uncommon during military operations in such treacherous landscapes. It serves as a reminder of both the bravery and vulnerability of those who served in armed forces. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by Leonard de Selva's lens, we are transported back to that fateful day over a century ago. This powerful image evokes emotions ranging from awe at nature's might to sympathy for those involved. While it may be just an engraving on paper today, it stands as a testament to human resilience and serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst tragedy, there is beauty to be found within our shared history.
