EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history - the relief distribution to families affected by the devastating Mail fires. The engraving, created by an anonymous French artist from the 20th century, showcases the aftermath of this tragic accident that occurred on April 22nd, 1906. In this scene, we see a young girl representing one of the many widows and orphans left behind by this catastrophe. The image depicts her receiving aid from compassionate individuals who are part of a relief effort organized by Le Petit Parisien, a renowned French journal known for its commitment to social causes. The engraving not only highlights the immediate impact of the incident but also sheds light on various aspects of French society during that time. It offers us glimpses into industry and press involvement in supporting victims' families as well as miscellaneous facts about life in early 20th-century France. Leonard de Selva's masterful photography beautifully captures both the somber atmosphere and resilience exhibited by these affected families. This rare piece serves as a powerful reminder of how accidents can have far-reaching consequences while showcasing humanity's capacity for compassion and support during times of crisis. As we reflect upon this historical event through Leonard de Selva's lens, let us remember those who suffered and honor their memory with empathy and solidarity.
