EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting print captures a tragic moment in history, depicting the heart-wrenching scene of two children being carried over Niagara Falls to their death. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 20th century, this colour litho artwork was originally published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on July 6,1913. The image showcases the sheer horror and helplessness experienced by onlookers witnessing this devastating accident. In the foreground, a small boat can be seen struggling against the forceful waterfall, while numerous bystanders watch in disbelief from afar. The immense power of nature is evident as it claims innocent lives. Niagara Falls serves as both a majestic wonder and a deadly force, reminding us of its unforgiving nature. This tragedy highlights not only the dangers associated with waterfalls but also emphasizes the vulnerability of children in such situations. As we gaze upon this print, our hearts ache for these young souls who met such an untimely end. It serves as a stark reminder that accidents can occur even in seemingly idyllic settings like Niagara Falls. This artwork evokes strong emotions and prompts reflection on human fragility amidst natural wonders. It stands as a poignant tribute to those lost that day and reminds us to cherish every precious moment with our loved ones.
