EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a dramatic moment in history - trains engulfed in flames on the iconic Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. Taken from the pages of "Le petit journal" on December 27,1903, this print by the French School is a testament to the power of photojournalism. The image transports us back to a time when steam locomotives ruled the railways, their billowing smoke contrasting starkly against the steel structure of the bridge. The intensity of the fire is palpable as it consumes not only the trains but also our imagination. It serves as a reminder of both human ingenuity and vulnerability. Intriguingly, this photograph was part of an engraving press that made various prints for publication. Its inclusion in "Le petit journal" suggests that it was intended to evoke fear or curiosity among its readership. Perhaps it served as a cautionary tale about potential dangers lurking within modern transportation systems. As we gaze at this historic snapshot, we are transported to early 20th century America - bustling with progress and innovation yet marred by occasional tragedy. The presence of docks nearby hints at New York's status as a major port city during this era, while railway tracks leading towards an unknown destination symbolize endless possibilities. This print from Photo Josse's private collection allows us to glimpse into a world long gone but forever preserved through artistry and documentation. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and destruction, there is beauty in capturing these moments for posterity. With each passing year since its creation over a century ago, this photograph gains more significance as an artifact representing not just American history but also humanity's unyielding spirit in overcoming adversity.
