This engraving, titled "Woman killed by accident during a show of saltibank in the street" captures a tragic incident that unfolded on Place des Quinconces in Bordeaux. The image, dating back to 5th March 1893, was featured in the renowned newspaper "Le Petit Parisien". The scene depicts a bustling street trade atmosphere with people going about their daily activities. However, amidst the lively ambiance, tragedy strikes as an unfortunate woman loses her life during a saltibank performance. This unexpected accident casts a somber shadow over the otherwise vibrant streets of Bordeaux. The artist behind this powerful engraving is Stefano Bianchetti from France's 19th-century school of art.
