EDITORS COMMENTS
The Lyon mail post affair, also known as the Affaire du courrier de Lyon, captured in this 19th-century engraving from "Memoires de Sanson," depicts a harrowing scene on April 28, 1796. Five individuals are seen attacking the la malle-poste in the Seine and Marne region of France. The intensity of the moment is palpable as chaos ensues and danger lurks around every corner.
This historical event serves as a reminder of the turbulent times during the late 18th century in Europe. The engraving captures not only the physical violence taking place but also the fear and uncertainty that must have gripped those involved.
The black-and-white imagery adds to the dramatic effect of this print, emphasizing the stark contrast between light and shadow. The intricate details in each figure's expression convey a sense of urgency and desperation.
As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history unfold before our eyes. It is a testament to human resilience and courage in the face of adversity.
This print from Bridgeman Images offers us a glimpse into a tumultuous period that shaped modern-day Europe. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far we have come since those uncertain times, yet it also highlights the importance of remembering our past struggles to appreciate our present peace.
