EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment in Parisian history - the explosion of the infernal machine on rue Saint Nicaise. The image, taken from an engraving dating back to the 19th century, showcases the chaos and destruction caused by this audacious assassination attempt on Napoleon Bonaparte. The conspiracy of the infernal machine was devised as a means to eliminate Napoleon, who had recently risen to power as the First Consul following a successful coup d'état. On December 24th, 1800, as Napoleon's carriage made its way towards the Opera, an infernal machine detonated with devastating force. In this photograph, we witness the aftermath of that fateful event. Debris litters the streets while smoke billows into the air. The scene is one of both horror and intrigue - a reminder of how close history came to being altered forever. Preserved within Musee Carnavalet in Paris, this print offers us a glimpse into a pivotal moment in time. It serves as a testament to human resilience and highlights our enduring fascination with historical events that shape our world today. As we gaze upon this image captured by Photo Josse, let us reflect on not only what could have been but also appreciate how these moments continue to inspire curiosity and ignite our collective imagination.
