EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of both despair and heroism in the heart of Paris. Taken from "Le petit journal illustrious" on October 7th, 1921, it depicts the attempted suicide of a young woman near the Louis Philippe Bridge. The image showcases the dramatic rescue by police chief Leulier, who bravely intervened to save her life. The engraving beautifully portrays the scene with intricate details that evoke a sense of empathy and compassion. The girl's anguish is palpable as she stands at the edge of the Seine River, contemplating her fate. Meanwhile, Chief Leulier emerges as an emblematic figure of hope and resilience amidst this dark moment. The artwork serves as a poignant reminder of human fragility and our capacity for acts of bravery in times of crisis. It encapsulates not only an individual's struggle but also reflects broader themes such as mental health, societal pressures, and personal redemption. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful illustration transports us back to early 20th-century France when newspapers played a vital role in documenting significant events like this one. This particular piece from his private collection offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing his talent as both draughtsman and engraver. As we contemplate this powerful image today, it reminds us to cherish life's precious moments and appreciate those who selflessly dedicate themselves to helping others overcome their darkest hours.
