EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tragic incident that unfolded in the picturesque Bois de Boulogne in Paris. The colour litho, created by an anonymous French School artist from the 20th century, portrays a scene of foolhardy skaters indulging in their favorite winter pastime on a frozen lake. However, their reckless actions led to disaster as the weight of thirty individuals caused the ice to crack and collapse beneath them. In this misadventure, two lives were tragically lost. The image serves as a stark reminder of the dangers lurking beneath seemingly harmless leisure activities. The frozen landscape is juxtaposed with the chaos and panic ensuing after the accident. Skaters can be seen falling into icy waters while others desperately try to rescue them. A warning sign stands nearby, serving as an eerie foreshadowing of what was about to unfold. The photograph evokes feelings of both awe and horror - awe at nature's beauty encapsulated by the frozen lake, and horror at witnessing such a devastating tragedy unfold before our eyes. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst moments of recreation and joy, danger can lurk just below the surface. This powerful image immortalizes not only this specific event but also acts as a cautionary tale for future generations who may be tempted to underestimate or ignore potential risks associated with their chosen activities.
