EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the harrowing scene of a tragic fire that engulfed a workshop in Newark, New Jersey. Taken from Le Petit Journal's supplement illustre on December 11th, 1910, this color lithograph by an anonymous French artist offers a glimpse into the devastating event that unfolded on that fateful day. In this heart-wrenching image, we witness brave female workers leaping out of windows to escape the raging flames and impending danger. The facade of the building is consumed by fire, creating an atmosphere of chaos and desperation. Firefighters donning their uniforms and helmets can be seen below, ready to catch those who dare to jump with nets as smoke billows around them. The sheer vertigo-inducing nature of this tragedy is palpable as one imagines the fear these laborers must have felt while making their desperate leaps for survival. The suffocating smoke adds another layer of terror to an already dire situation. Amidst the chaos and destruction, there are heroes emerging - rescuers risking their lives to save those trapped inside. This powerful image serves as a reminder not only of the dangers faced by workers but also highlights humanity's capacity for courage and selflessness in times of crisis. Through this photograph, we bear witness to both the fragility and resilience inherent in human existence – a haunting testament to a moment forever etched in history.
