EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Le Petit Journal, dated 19th March 1911, transports us to a chilling scene in the heart of winter. The illustration depicts a wedding party under attack by a pack of ferocious wolves near Taschkent (Tashkent), Uzbekistan. As the snow-covered landscape sets the stage for this dramatic encounter, we witness the sheer terror and chaos that unfolds before our eyes. In this moment frozen in time, both male and female members of the wedding party are caught off guard by the sudden onslaught. The bride's white gown stands out against the bleak backdrop as she desperately clings to her groom for protection. Meanwhile, Cossack warriors valiantly attempt to fend off their lupine assailants with whips while struggling to maintain control over their horse-drawn sleigh. The artist skillfully captures not only the fear etched on each face but also conveys a sense of urgency through dynamic brushstrokes and vivid colors. This evocative portrayal serves as a reminder of nature's untamed power and its ability to disrupt even life's most joyous occasions. Preserved within a private collection, this historical artwork offers us an intriguing glimpse into an era long past. It reminds us that amidst celebrations and festivities lie unforeseen challenges waiting to test our resilience and unity.
