EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, captured by photographer Leonard de Selva in 1898, depicts a chaotic scene on Avenue Wagram in Paris. The image showcases a general fight between the crowd and police intervention, as they desperately try to contain the escalating violence. The intense atmosphere is palpable as individuals clad in military uniforms clash with civilians, resulting in a brawl of epic proportions. The artist's attention to detail is evident through the intricate engravings that bring this historical moment to life. The significance of this event is further emphasized by its publication in "Le petit journal" a renowned press outlet during that time period. This engraving serves as a visual representation of the unrest and tension that plagued late 19th-century France. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes clear that it captures not only an act of violence but also reflects broader themes such as social upheaval and political dissent.

Leonard de Selva's photograph stands as a testament to his skillful ability to capture moments of intensity and turmoil.
