"October: A Month of Historical Moments and Tragic Events" In the month of October, history has witnessed a myriad of significant events that have left an indelible mark on our collective memory. From the chilling incidents relating to the East End Murders in 1888, depicted vividly in The Illustrated Police News engraving, to the vibrant grape-pickers pressing grapes in a fresco dating back to around 1400, this month holds tales both dark and delightful. One engraving captures the departure of Gambetta and Spuller aboard the nacelle de l'Armand Barbes on October 7th, 1870. It symbolizes a momentous chapter during times of political turmoil. Meanwhile, another artwork from a series of tapestries portrays Chateau de Tuileries against an autumn backdrop - a visual representation of October's charm. However, not all stories are filled with joy. The tragic catastrophe that befell MM Morin et de Bradsky on October 13th is hauntingly depicted as they examine their ill-fated nacelle before its fatal flight. This engraving serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and adventure, tragedy can strike unexpectedly. Moving further into history reveals more captivating moments tied to this remarkable month. In Ms 438's Book of Hours from 1490, we witness ploughing and sowing activities during October - showcasing how agriculture played an essential role in shaping societies throughout time. An engraved depiction commemorates the signing of the Treaty of Munster on October 24th, 1648 - marking an end to one era while paving the way for new beginnings. Similarly significant is Louis XIII's majority declaration by parliament held in Grand Chambre on October 2nd, 1614; it signifies power transitions within monarchies. The catastrophic event known as "La catastrophe du Geant" unfolds through yet another engraving dated October19th, 1863, illustrating the devastation that struck the Hanover plain.
