EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Attack on the Diligence from Paris to Lyon on 25th July 1822" takes us back in time to witness a dramatic event that unfolded along the treacherous highways of France. The colour lithograph, created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, showcases a scene filled with violence and danger. In this chaotic image, we see a group of bandits ambushing a coach known as the Diligence. Travellers aboard this ill-fated journey are confronted with hazards and peril as they become victims of robbery. The intensity is palpable as these highwaymen threaten their lives and possessions. The print serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by travellers during this era. It sheds light on the risks associated with transportation in Europe at that time, particularly along routes like Lyons where such attacks were not uncommon. Through this artwork, we gain insight into French history and its struggles against lawlessness. It also highlights how travel was once fraught with uncertainty and vulnerability before modern advancements made it safer for all. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate our own fortune to live in an age where such perils have been largely eradicated from our journeys.
