EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable incident that occurred in the late 19th century. An ox, unexpectedly and quite dramatically, broke into a theatre near Toulouse during a live performance. The engraving, featured in "Le petit journal" on August 15th, 1897, showcases the chaos and fear that ensued as the audience was taken aback by this unexpected visitor. The image depicts the scene with vivid detail and color. The spectators can be seen frozen in their seats, their faces filled with anguish and anxiety as they try to comprehend what is happening before them. The ox stands proudly at center stage, its presence commanding attention from all who witness it. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary moment but also serves as a testament to the unpredictability of life's events. It reminds us that even within the confines of a theater - a place meant for scripted performances - nature can still find its way in. The Selva Collection has preserved this historical artifact for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon. Through this image, we are transported back to an era where such occurrences were met with awe and wonderment. It serves as both a reminder of our shared human experiences and an homage to those who have captured these moments through artistry and skill.
