EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, revealing a remarkable incident that occurred over a century ago. In the early 1900s, amidst a stormy downpour, a family of farmers sought refuge under their trusty umbrellas. Little did they know that fate had something unexpected in store for them. As lightning crackled through the darkened sky, an electrifying bolt struck the very spot where this resilient family sought shelter. The engraving featured in "Le Petit Parisien" on August 18th, 1901 immortalizes this extraordinary event. Created by Andrieux Clement Auguste and Carrey, it now resides within a private collection curated by Stefano Bianchetti. The image transports us back to an era when scientific methods were still evolving and meteorology was gaining recognition as a field of study. It serves as a reminder of how nature's forces can both awe and endanger us. Through rain-soaked droplets captured mid-air, we witness the power of lightning illuminating the scene with its fierce brilliance. This photograph encapsulates not only the dramatic encounter between man and nature but also highlights French craftsmanship in engraving during that period. Intriguingly labeled as "Miscellaneous facts" this journal entry from France's past offers glimpses into lesser-known stories that unfolded during those years. It is through such historical artifacts like these that we gain insight into our shared human experiences across different centuries – reminding us of our vulnerability to natural phenomena while
