EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heart-stopping moment in history, showcasing a miraculous escape that unfolded on a bridge in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. Taken by an American photographer from the 19th century and now part of a private collection, this image tells the story of a car overturning but miraculously stopping just in time to avoid plunging off the edge. The scene is filled with tension as we witness the sheer luck and quick reflexes that prevented what could have been a tragic accident. The bridge itself stands as both witness and savior, its sturdy structure providing support during this perilous event. Transportation has always played an essential role in society's progress, but it can also be fraught with danger. This photograph serves as a reminder of the risks involved when traveling by automobile. It showcases not only the vulnerability of these machines but also highlights how fortunate individuals can be when faced with such life-threatening situations. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we are transported back to June 1930 when Il Mattino Illustrato featured this illustration. Its inclusion in their publication undoubtedly captivated readers at the time and continues to fascinate us today. Through this remarkable image captured by an American photographer from long ago, we gain insight into our collective past while appreciating how far transportation safety measures have come since then.
