EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of a devastating explosion that occurred at the iconic restaurant Very on 24 Boulevard Magenta in Paris. The attack was orchestrated by the anarchist Francois Koenigstein dit Ravachol, who left his mark on history with this act of violence on March 30,1892. The image, featured in "The Petity Journal" by an unknown artist from the 19th century, showcases the destruction caused by this anarchistic assault. The remnants of what was once a bustling establishment now lie in ruins, serving as a haunting reminder of the chaos and turmoil that unfolded during those times. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this poignant moment through his lens, offering us a glimpse into a dark chapter of French history. This photograph serves as both evidence and testament to Ravachol's attempt to challenge societal norms and provoke change through radical means. As we delve into this piece of artistry, we are transported back to late 19th-century France—a time when various ideologies clashed amidst political unrest. Through careful observation, one can almost feel the tension lingering in the air surrounding this tragic event. With its historical significance and artistic merit combined, Leonard de Selva's photograph stands as an invaluable relic that sheds light on an era defined by rebellion and dissent. It reminds us not only of our past but also urges us to reflect upon how such events shape our present-day society.
