EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the bustling Port of Le Havre in 1892. The image captures a mesmerizing moment as a deep-sea diver explores the wreckage beneath the surface. With his trusty lamp illuminating the dark depths, he carefully navigates through the remnants of ships that have met their untimely fate. The artist, Henri Meyer, skillfully brings this scene to life with vibrant colors and intricate details. We can almost feel the weight of history as we witness this diver's determination to uncover hidden treasures or salvage what remains from these sunken vessels. This particular wreck holds a significant story behind it - on January 23rd, just weeks before this engraving was created, tragedy struck when the liner La Normandie collided with the tugboat Abeille 9. The aftermath is now etched forever in this artwork. As we gaze upon this print, our imagination takes flight and we find ourselves immersed in an underwater world filled with mystery and intrigue. It serves as a reminder of both human triumphs and failures at sea - a testament to our relentless pursuit of exploration and discovery. This remarkable piece from Le Petit Journal allows us to glimpse into history while marveling at its artistic beauty. It reminds us that even within chaos and destruction lies an opportunity for resilience and renewal.
