This print captures a thrilling moment in history, frozen in time. The scene unfolds on the roofs of Notre Dame Street in Nazareth, as a daring burglar finds himself in a precarious situation. In his desperate attempt to escape from the relentless pursuit of police officers, he loses his footing and plummets towards the ground below. The engraving, originally published in "Le petit journal" on May 14th, 1899, showcases the incredible skill of an unknown artist from the 19th century. It is now part of the esteemed Selva Collection. The image exudes tension and excitement as it immortalizes this heart-stopping accident. The French streets serve as a dramatic backdrop for this unexpected turn of events. The fallen malefactor's face reveals both fear and determination as he grapples with his imminent capture. This historical artifact offers us a glimpse into an era when press coverage played a vital role in documenting such incidents. Its inclusion in "Le petit journal" speaks to its significance at that time. Leonard de Selva has expertly preserved this piece through photography, ensuring that its impact endures beyond its original publication date. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are transported back to that fateful day on Notre Dame Street when one man's haste led him to an unforgettable fall from grace.
