EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a dramatic moment in history - the rescue of a woman who fell into the Seine River from an art bridge in Paris. The incident, which took place on February 25th, 1906, was documented by the renowned French newspaper "Le Petit Parisien". The artwork, created by an anonymous artist from the 20th century French School, showcases their exceptional talent for capturing emotion and movement. The scene is filled with tension as onlookers gather to witness this harrowing event unfold. The woman's desperate struggle for survival is evident in her outstretched arms and anguished expression. The brave rescuers can be seen reaching out to save her from certain drowning. This image serves as a reminder of both the fragility of life and the compassion that humans are capable of displaying in times of crisis. Leonard de Selva skillfully photographed this powerful engraving, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. Now part of a private collection, this print allows us to reflect upon one of many accidents that occurred on bridges during that era. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, let us remember those who risked their lives to save others and honor their selflessness.
