EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1909, a daring theft unfolds on the streets of Charpennes, France. The image depicts a horse-drawn carriage being hijacked by a thief, with its unsuspecting owner, M. Rodarie, looking on in shock. The scene is chaotic as a motorist, alerted to the situation, quickly jumps into action and gives pursuit. The thief, clad in a dark coat and hat, can be seen brandishing a pistol as he attempts to make his escape. The motorist, determined to apprehend the criminal, follows closely behind, with smoke billowing from the exhaust of his vehicle. The long chase through the bustling streets of Charpennes is a scene of excitement and danger, as the thief and the motorist weave in and out of traffic, narrowly avoiding collisions. As the chase continues, pistol shots can be heard ringing out through the air, adding to the sense of urgency and tension. The photograph captures a moment of high drama, as the outcome of the chase remains uncertain. The crowds that have gathered on the streets watch in awe, some cheering on the motorist, others expressing concern for the safety of those involved. Eventually, after a long and thrilling chase, the thief is stopped and apprehended, bringing a sense of relief to the community. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of motorized transportation and crime in early 20th century France.
