EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a remarkable act of bravery by a Montreuil police officer in the pursuit of justice. The scene unfolds with an intensity that leaves us breathless as the officer fearlessly throws himself out of a window, determined to catch a fleeing burglar who has just made his daring escape. The engraving, featured in "Le petit journal" on December 17th, 1899, captures the essence of this dramatic moment. The unknown artist skillfully portrays the urgency and determination etched on the face of both pursuer and pursued. We can almost feel the adrenaline coursing through their veins as they engage in this high-stakes chase. This image from the Selva Collection is not only visually striking but also serves as a testament to human courage and dedication to duty. It reminds us that heroes exist even in everyday life, willing to risk everything for what is right. As we delve into this piece further, we are transported back to late 19th-century France. The iconic kepi worn by the police officer signifies his authority while adding an element of historical authenticity to the scene. This print offers us a glimpse into an era when press engravings were instrumental in capturing significant events for public consumption. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully preserves this historic moment for future generations to appreciate. Through its timeless appeal and artistic composition, it immortalizes not only these individuals but also their unwavering commitment to upholding law and order.
