"Tragedy Strikes: Lives Lost and Hearts Shattered in a Series of Devastating Accidents" In the quiet town of Epernay, France, two young girls met an untimely end as they were mercilessly run over by a car driven by a madman. The vibrant colours of the lithograph cannot mask the darkness that engulfed their families and community on that fateful day. Moving further along the timeline, another lithograph depicts a carriage struck by an unforgiving train. The collision left no room for survival or escape, leaving behind only remnants of shattered dreams and broken promises. Brittany witnessed its own tragic accident, captured vividly in yet another colour litho. A momentary lapse led to irreversible consequences, forever etching sorrow into the hearts of those who bore witness to this heart-wrenching scene. But not all instances involved vehicles alone; punishment took various forms. An alabaster sculpture portrays "Punishment of the Debtor, " reminding us that even financial struggles can lead to dire circumstances with lasting repercussions. As we delve deeper into history's tragedies, we encounter illustrations from Le Pele-Mele depicting vengeance and progress gone awry. From cocher seeking revenge to railway disasters at Etampes – these images serve as haunting reminders that human actions can have devastating consequences when unchecked. The lithographs continue their grim narrative with scenes like "Trop tard" where time proved too late for salvation or redemption. And then there is "Un Drame A Toute Vapeur, " an engraving capturing a dramatic steam-powered tragedy that unfolded before our eyes. Yet amidst such darkness, glimmers of hope emerge through acts of devotion depicted in colourful lithographs. These moments remind us that even in times marred by tragedy and loss, humanity still possesses the capacity for compassion and selflessness. Finally, we confront one last image - "Tragedy on the railway.
