EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A pickpocket evading the police by balloon at a fair in Oklahoma" showcases an audacious act of escape and adventure. Created by the French School in the 20th century, this colorful lithograph captures a thrilling moment from history. In this scene, we witness a daring criminal attempting to flee from law enforcement officers using an unconventional method - a hot air balloon. The thief's quick thinking and resourcefulness are on full display as he floats above the fairgrounds, leaving behind astonished onlookers and frustrated policemen. The image transports us back to July 23,1911 when it was originally published in Le Petit Journal. It offers a glimpse into the excitement and innovation that characterized early aviation during this time period. Set against the backdrop of Oklahoma, known for its vast landscapes and pioneering spirit, this artwork symbolizes both freedom and rebellion. The contrast between the peaceful sky-bound thief and his pursuers below adds tension to the narrative, highlighting themes of crime and justice. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this print not only captures an extraordinary moment but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity. It reminds us that even in times of adversity or pursuit, there is always room for audacity and creativity. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images invites viewers to imagine themselves soaring through the skies with our elusive protagonist – evoking feelings of exhilaration while contemplating themes of flight, courage, and escapism.
