EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time during the Grand-Prix motor race held at the prestigious Pavillion d Armenonville in France back in 1899. Created by talented artist Eugene Damblans and featured as an illustration in Le Petit Journal on June 25th of that year, this image offers a glimpse into the tumultuous events that unfolded. The scene depicted is one of sheer chaos and violence. The air is thick with tension as men dressed in suits and elegant attire find themselves caught up in a riotous frenzy. Bottles are being thrown haphazardly through the air while others scream and shout amidst overturned furniture and shattered glass. The crowd appears to be divided into groups, each engaged in their own skirmish or heated argument. The incident has disrupted what was meant to be a joyous celebration of motor racing, turning it instead into a display of raw emotion and aggression. Damblans' use of color adds depth to this engraving from the late 19th century. The vibrant hues highlight both the beauty of the surroundings - with its ornate pavilion and elegantly dressed individuals - as well as intensify the sense of unrest permeating throughout. This artwork serves not only as a historical record but also prompts us to reflect on how even seemingly refined settings can succumb to moments of disorder when passions run
