This print titled "Train robbers" takes us back to a dramatic moment in history. Captured by the French School in the 20th century, this colour lithograph depicts an audacious attack on the Paris-Toulouse express between Etampes and Etrechy in November 1907. Under the cover of darkness, a group of daring criminals can be seen boarding the train, ready to carry out their audacious robbery. The intensity of the scene is palpable as they strategically target specific wagons for their nefarious deeds. This image serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers faced by passengers during that time. The artist's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the determined expressions on each robber's face to the intricate design of the train itself. The use of vibrant colors adds depth and excitement to this gripping moment frozen in time.
