EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Another attack in Marseille!, 1929" showcases a dramatic scene that unfolded on the streets of Marseille, France. Taken from the front cover of "Le Petit Journal Illustre" this image captures the chaos and danger that permeated the city during this time. In vivid color and impeccable graphic design, three masked bandits are seen robbing a bank cashier at gunpoint. The attackers, their identities concealed by their masks, display an audacious disregard for law and order as they carry out their criminal act with precision. Their getaway car stands nearby, ready to whisk them away from justice. The photograph offers a glimpse into the crime-ridden underbelly of Marseille in the early 20th century. It speaks volumes about the challenges faced by law enforcement and highlights the brazenness of criminals who operated within its borders. While little is known about its creator or exact location, this print serves as a testament to both historical events and exceptional journalistic photography. Preserved by The Print Collector archive, it allows us to reflect on an era when robberies like these were not uncommon occurrences. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are reminded of how far society has come since those tumultuous times while acknowledging that there is still much work to be done in ensuring safety and security for all citizens.
