EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating aftermath of the collapse of a building under construction at 40 rue des Appenins, Paris, on January 1st, 1899. The image is an engraving from "Le petit journal" a renowned French publication of that era. The Selva Collection has preserved this historical artifact, showcasing the tragic event that unfolded on that fateful day. The collapse resulted in the burial of twenty workers who were diligently toiling away at the construction site. This haunting scene serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by those involved in such ambitious projects during the late nineteenth century. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight both its artistic value and its significance as a piece of journalistic history. Meaulle and Carrey skillfully crafted this depiction with great precision and emotion, evoking empathy for those affected by this calamity. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when France was undergoing rapid urban development. It serves as a testament to both progress and tragedy within European society during the nineteenth century. Leonard de Selva's photograph preserves not only an important moment in French history but also pays homage to all those whose lives were forever changed by this catastrophic event.
