Escape from a Horrible Death - A Glimpse into the Perilous Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Escape from a Horrible Death" takes us back to the early 20th century in France. The image depicts a postman who has fallen victim to a terrifying crime, bound and gagged on an abandoned railway line. Left for dead by heartless criminals, his life hangs precariously in the balance. With palpable fear etched across his face, this unfortunate victim's only hope lies in summoning every ounce of strength and ingenuity to free himself before an impending train arrives. In an act of sheer luck and determination, he manages to roll off the track just moments before disaster strikes. The artist skillfully captures the anguish and anxiety that enveloped this harrowing ordeal. This powerful illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on September 12th, 1909 - serving as a stark reminder of the dangers lurking within society at that time. Through this evocative artwork, we are transported into a world where crime reigned supreme and innocent lives were constantly under threat. It serves as both a testament to human resilience and as a chilling reminder of our vulnerability. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing lithograph today, let us reflect on how far we have come since those perilous days while acknowledging that danger can still lurk around unexpected corners. May it inspire gratitude for our safety while reminding us never to take it for granted.
