EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Carriage Accident" captures a dramatic moment frozen in time. Created by Amedee Forestier in 1894, this print showcases a chaotic scene unfolding on the bustling streets of London. The horse-drawn carriage has met with misfortune as the horse slips and falls heavily to the ground. The impact is so forceful that the shafts of the carriage have broken, leaving it crippled and immobile. In the midst of this chaos, we see Veronica, a woman untouched by fear or injury, bending over an unconscious man lying on the pavement. Her calm demeanor amidst such turmoil is striking and speaks volumes about her character. It is evident that she possesses both strength and compassion as she tends to the injured driver. Forestier's attention to detail brings this scene to life; every element meticulously rendered from Veronica's expression of concern to the intricate engraving work depicting street scenes filled with people going about their daily lives. Published in Illustrated London News on May 5th, 1894, this artwork serves as a poignant reminder of how quickly accidents can occur even in seemingly mundane situations. Through this lithograph, we are transported back in time to witness not only a carriage accident but also glimpses into society during that era – where carriages were still prevalent means of transportation and working animals played crucial roles in everyday life. This print stands as a testament to Forestier's skill as an artist and his ability to capture moments that resonate across generations.
