EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in history, showcasing the incredible strength and resilience of a train driver in Belgium. In this stunning colour litho by French School from the 20th century, we witness an extraordinary encounter between man and nature. As the steam locomotive powers through the Belgian countryside, its firebox blazing with coal, chaos ensues when an aggressive wild goose swoops down upon the unsuspecting driver. The bird's wings spread wide as it fiercely attacks him, creating a scene of both danger and astonishment. This illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on January 5th, 1913. It serves as a testament to the bravery and determination of those who operated trains during that era. Despite being caught off guard by this unexpected assault from nature's realm, the driver remains steadfast at his post. The image not only showcases this remarkable incident but also provides us with a glimpse into early 20th-century transportation systems in Europe. It reminds us of how humans coexist alongside wildlife within bustling urban environments like Belgium. With its rich historical context and vivid depiction of human-animal interaction, this print is sure to captivate viewers' imaginations for years to come.
