EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting print captures the tragic story of a child killed by a Prussian policeman. The colour litho, created by Oswaldo Tofani in the early 20th century, depicts a heart-wrenching scene that unfolded on the French border. In this illustration for Le Petit Journal, published on 4 March 1900, we witness a young boy desperately fleeing from the clutches of an armed police officer. With fear in his eyes and determination in his stride, he races towards freedom across the frontier. The image serves as a stark reminder of the brutality and violence that can occur within borders. It symbolizes not only one innocent life lost but also represents countless others who have suffered similar fates throughout history. The contrast between the vibrant colours used in this lithograph and its somber subject matter creates an unsettling juxtaposition. It forces us to confront our own emotions as we contemplate the senseless act of violence captured within this frame. As viewers, we are left with questions about justice, humanity, and compassion. This photograph print serves as both a historical document and a poignant work of art that demands reflection upon our shared responsibility to protect those most vulnerable among us. © Look and Learn has preserved this significant piece from private collection through Bridgeman Images so that future generations may remember this heartbreaking event and strive for peace and understanding in our world today.
