EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic rescue scene amidst the devastating floods in France. Taken at the Auch hospital in the Gers, this powerful image showcases the heroic efforts of individuals to save lives during this natural disaster. In the foreground, we see a young girl being lifted by a courageous rescuer, her face etched with fear and relief. The water surrounding them is turbulent and unforgiving, emphasizing the urgency of their situation. In the background, other figures can be seen wading through waist-deep floodwaters, determined to aid those in need. Published on July 18th, 1897, in "Le Peute Parisien" this photograph offers a glimpse into an era where press photography was still emerging as a medium for documenting current events. It serves as a poignant reminder of both human resilience and vulnerability when faced with nature's wrath. The photographer behind this remarkable piece remains anonymous but has left an indelible mark on history through their lens. Stefano Bianchetti's private collection now houses this invaluable snapshot from another time. As we observe this print today, let us reflect on how disasters like these have shaped our collective memory and spurred advancements in emergency response systems worldwide. This image stands as a testament to humanity's unwavering spirit even in times of great adversity.
