EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Brave Youth" we are transported back to the 19th century streets of France. The image depicts a remarkable act of heroism by a young boy named Alphonse Lecrocq, who at just twelve years old, fearlessly intervenes to restrain two horses threatening to run amok. The scene is filled with danger and chaos as the powerful horses rear up on their hind legs, ready to unleash havoc upon the bustling street. Amidst this turmoil stands Alphonse, his face displaying determination and courage beyond his tender age. With sheer strength and unwavering bravery, he holds onto the reins tightly, preventing disaster from unfolding before our eyes. This illustration was originally created for Le Petit Journal in March 1892, capturing a moment that encapsulates not only French culture but also European resilience and fortitude. It serves as a reminder of how even the youngest among us can rise above adversity when faced with danger. Alphonse's actions symbolize more than just physical strength; they represent an encouragement for all children to embrace their own courage and make a difference in their world. This extraordinary display of bravery resonates across time, reminding us that heroes come in all shapes and sizes – even in the form of a young apprentice jeweler restraining two unruly horses on a busy street corner. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print captured by Henri Meyer, we cannot help but be inspired by Alphonse's selflessness and determination. His story
