EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a chaotic scene in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France during the early 20th century. The image depicts a procession that has been abruptly interrupted by a car, causing an uproar among the participants. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring to life the intense emotions and confrontations unfolding on the streets. The careless act of the driver has upset and angered those involved in the procession, resulting in heated arguments and shocked expressions. A woman can be seen at the center of it all, engaged in a dispute with both her fellow marchers and a policeman attempting to restore order. The atmosphere is filled with panic as girls scramble to safety amidst this unexpected disruption. The road becomes a battleground for conflicting feelings - rage, bitterness, and furor are palpable as individuals grapple with their emotions. Boulogne-sur-Mer's rich history comes alive through this illustration originally created for Le Petit Journal on September 6th, 1903. It serves as a reminder of how transportation advancements clashed with traditional customs during this period. As we gaze upon this snapshot from French culture, we are reminded of our own capacity for carelessness and its potential consequences. This thought-provoking artwork invites us to reflect on our actions while highlighting one of humanity's seven deadly sins - recklessness.
