EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of a terrible car crash at Pompignac, France in vivid detail. The colour litho artwork, created by an anonymous French artist from the 20th century, is part of a private collection and provides a haunting glimpse into the tragic incident that unfolded near Bordeaux. The collision involved two cars, one of which was participating in a race. The devastating impact resulted in the loss of six lives and left both vehicles mangled beyond recognition. This illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on August 18th, 1907, serving as a stark reminder of the dangers associated with motoring during that era. The image portrays the chaos and danger inherent to early automobile travel. It serves as a somber reflection on the risks faced by drivers and passengers alike on roads that were still evolving to accommodate this new mode of transport. The scene evokes feelings of shock and sadness while also highlighting society's growing fascination with motor racing. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its significance as an emblematic representation of early motoring accidents in France. Through this powerful visual narrative captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we gain insight into an important chapter in French culture - one marked by tragedy but also progress towards safer roadways for future generations.
