EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of a tragic railway accident that occurred in Saint-Brieuc, France, in July 1895. The engraving, created during that time period, transports us back to witness the devastating scene. In this image, we see the remnants of twisted metal and debris scattered across the rail tracks as a somber reminder of the horrifying event. The horizontal composition allows us to take in every detail with clarity and precision. This historical artifact from the 19th century offers a glimpse into an era when train transport was rapidly evolving but still prone to accidents. The private collection that houses this engraving has preserved an important piece of French history for future generations. It is worth noting that Santiago Ortega is credited as the photographer behind this remarkable image; however, it remains unknown whether he captured it for personal or commercial purposes. Regardless of its intended use, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how transportation advancements were not without their perils. As we reflect on this railway accident in Saint-Brieuc over a century ago, let us remember those who lost their lives or were injured on that fateful day. May their sacrifice remind us to prioritize safety measures and continuously strive for improvements in our modern-day transportation systems.
