EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An unhappy ending to an excursion" depicts a tragic accident that occurred in the Pyrenees during the 20th century. The colour litho, created by French School and part of a private collection, showcases the aftermath of a carriage falling into a ravine. One tourist lost their life, while three others suffered serious injuries. The image evokes a sense of sorrow and disbelief as we witness the devastating consequences of this unfortunate incident. The horses that once pulled the carriage now stand motionless amidst the wreckage, symbolizing both their involvement in the tragedy and their own vulnerability. Le Petit Journal published this illustration on August 11th, 1901, underlining its historical significance. Signed by L Fillol, it serves as a poignant reminder of how even seemingly idyllic excursions can take an unexpected turn for the worse. As viewers gaze upon this artwork from Look and Learn's collection curated by Bridgeman Images, they are transported back in time to witness not only an accident but also glimpse into early tourism practices in France. This thought-provoking piece invites contemplation about travel safety measures throughout history and reminds us to appreciate every journey we embark upon with caution and gratitude.
