This print captures a moment of immense heroism and sacrifice during the early 20th century. Depicting the tragic event that unfolded off the coast of Casablanca, it portrays Lieutenant Pillot, a brave French army officer, in his final act of selflessness. In this color lithograph by Carrey, we witness Lieutenant Pillot's valiant attempt to save one of his soldiers from drowning amidst treacherous waves. The intensity of the scene is palpable as Pillot battles against nature's fury to rescue his comrade. The rough waters and crashing waves symbolize the immense challenges faced by these courageous men. The image serves as an illustration for Le Petit Parisien on October 6th, 1907, immortalizing this act of bravery for generations to come. It encapsulates not only the dangers faced by military personnel but also their unwavering dedication to protecting their fellow soldiers. Lieutenant Pierre Paul Eugene Pillot's untimely death reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless servicemen throughout history. His courage and determination serve as an inspiration even today. As we gaze upon this poignant artwork, let us remember those who have given their lives in service to others. May it encourage us all to embrace acts of bravery and selflessness in our own lives while honoring the memory of heroes like Lieutenant Pillot.
