EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tragic incident involving a school airship in Rochefort. As the maneuvers were underway to take the airship out of its hangar, an unexpected turn of events unfolded. The airship slid on the ground, causing chaos and panic among those present. In an unfortunate twist of fate, one of the maneuverers was taken away by the ship itself as it departed into the drift. Tragically, this individual lost their life when they collided with the nacelle upon landing. This heart-wrenching moment is frozen in time through this engraving from "Le petit Journal Illustre" dated February 19th, 1922. The image showcases not only the accident but also highlights various aspects related to transportation vehicles and French airship balloons during that era. It serves as a reminder of how even seemingly routine tasks can quickly turn into devastating accidents. Preserved within a private collection, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century France and its advancements in aerostat technology. The skilled engraver, Stefano Bianchetti, has immortalized this somber event through his artistry. As we reflect upon this photograph print from Fine Art Finder, let us remember those who have lost their lives in pursuit of progress and innovation throughout history while appreciating both its artistic value and historical significance.
