EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting engraving captures the tragic aftermath of a suspended bridge collapse in Charleston, Virginia. The image, originally published in "Le petit Parisien" on January 1st, 1905, depicts the devastating incident that claimed the lives of twenty innocent children. The scene is filled with sorrow as onlookers gather near the wreckage of the collapsed bridge. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings out the raw emotions etched on their faces - grief-stricken parents clutching each other for support, while others weep uncontrollably over their unimaginable loss. The engraving serves as a stark reminder of how urban planning failures can have catastrophic consequences. It highlights not only the fragility of infrastructure but also raises questions about safety measures and regulations during that time period. In this somber moment frozen in time, one cannot help but reflect upon the preciousness and vulnerability of childhood. These young lives cut short by an unforeseen tragedy serve as a poignant reminder to cherish every moment with our loved ones. Leonard de Selva's powerful photograph immortalizes this heart-wrenching event from early 20th century America. Its monochromatic tones evoke a sense of melancholy while emphasizing both the historical significance and human impact behind such accidents.
