EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a brutal fight between soldiers and Bavarian officers in plain clothes during a bicycle ride near Fuerth, Germany. The engraving was featured in "Le petit journal" on August 14,1898, and is part of the Selva Collection. The artist Carrey, who flourished around 1900, created this depiction. In this intense scene, tensions escalate as soldiers clash with Bavarian officers dressed inconspicuously. The brawl unfolds amidst the picturesque German countryside as both sides fiercely engage in combat. This engraving provides a glimpse into the tumultuous relationship between military personnel during this time period. The image showcases the chaos and violence that erupted during what should have been a leisurely bike ride through scenic landscapes. It highlights the struggle for power and dominance within German society at that time. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures the essence of this historical event. Through his lens, we witness not only the physical confrontation but also gain insight into societal dynamics prevalent in late nineteenth-century Germany. This powerful image serves as a reminder of how even seemingly peaceful activities can quickly turn violent when conflicting ideologies collide. It stands as a testament to human nature's complexities and offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own history while appreciating Leonard de Selva's artistic talent.
