EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tragic moment frozen in time. In this colour litho titled "A man killed by lightning while flying a kite" we witness the harrowing fate of Captain Engelstad, a Swedish Navy officer appointed second in command of Roald Amundsen's planned Arctic expedition. The image, originally published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on 8 August 1909, depicts the fatal incident that occurred during a thunderstorm. Engelstad's reckless decision to fly his kite amidst such dangerous weather conditions proved fatal when he was struck by a bolt of forked lightning. This shocking event serves as a reminder of the unpredictable and deadly power nature possesses. The tragedy depicted here raises questions about risk-taking and human vulnerability in the face of natural forces. It also highlights the importance of meteorology and scientific methods in understanding weather patterns and mitigating potential dangers. As we gaze upon this poignant image, we are reminded not only of Captain Engelstad's untimely demise but also of our own mortality and the fragility of life itself. This photograph serves as both a cautionary tale and an artistic testament to one man's ill-fated encounter with destiny. Through its historical significance and emotional impact, this print invites us to reflect on our own choices, reminding us that even seemingly innocent activities can turn perilous under certain circumstances.
