EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cyclists attacked in the Bois de Vincennes, Paris" takes us back to a dramatic incident that occurred in the early 20th century. The colour litho, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases a scene of violence and danger within the peaceful surroundings of the renowned Bois de Vincennes park. In this illustration for Le Petit Parisien (Supplement Litteraire Illustre), dated 16 June 1901, we witness a group of cyclists being assaulted by criminals along a wooded path. The image depicts both male and female riders caught off guard as they are targeted by these bandits. It serves as a stark reminder that even in such serene settings, one must remain vigilant against potential threats. The composition skillfully captures the intensity of the attack with its vibrant colours and dynamic lines. The bicycles scattered on the ground symbolize not only physical assault but also an infringement upon freedom and leisurely pursuits. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that cycling was not just a sport or mode of transportation; it represented independence and liberation for men and women alike. This image sheds light on societal issues prevalent at that time while showcasing how art can serve as documentation for significant events. Through this powerful visual narrative captured over a century ago, we are reminded of our collective responsibility to protect each other's safety while cherishing our shared spaces like parks – sanctuaries where joy should prevail over fear.
