EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in the history of the Opera Comique in Paris. On 25 May 1887, during the performance of Ambroise Thomas's first act of "Mignon" disaster struck as a fire broke out within the theater. The illustration, created by Eugene Courboin, depicts this fateful event with remarkable detail. The engraving showcases the chaos and panic that ensued on that tragic night. Firefighters can be seen bravely battling the flames while civilians scramble to safety through the streets surrounding the opera house. The scale of destruction is evident as smoke billows from windows and rooftops, engulfing the once grand building. Courboin's skillful rendering brings this historical moment to life, capturing not only the physical devastation but also conveying a sense of fear and urgency felt by those present. Through his artistry, he immortalizes this significant event in French history. This engraving was originally featured in "Paris-Illustrous journal weekly" in 1887 and has since become an important piece within private collections. Stefano Bianchetti's reproduction ensures that this powerful image continues to be appreciated for its historical significance and artistic merit. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of both tragedy and resilience - a testament to human strength amidst adversity.
