EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of terror and bravery in the French countryside. The engraving, featured in "Le petit journal" on September 1,1898, depicts the assault of a shepherd from Romorantin by a young man who resembles the notorious Vacher railroad attacker. This assailant targets young isolated girls in a series of attacks, but one girl manages to escape with the help of her loyal dog. The image is part of the Selva Collection and was created by Henri Meyer, an esteemed engraver from that era. The vibrant colors bring this historical event to life, showcasing both the fear felt by those affected and the resilience demonstrated by this courageous young woman. Intriguingly, this engraving offers more than just visual appeal; it provides valuable insight into French culture during that time period. It sheds light on various miscellaneous facts surrounding crime rates and societal dynamics in rural France at the end of the 19th century. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures this historic artwork without commercial intent. Through his lens, we are transported back to an era where art served as a medium for storytelling and documentation.
