EDITORS COMMENTS
An African adventure in the heart of Vienna captures a shocking moment when an aristocratic young man, dressed in a tuxedo, finds himself face to face with a dangerous reptile. The vividly colored lithograph by Achille Beltrame depicts the bizarre incident that occurred one evening in 1923. Returning home late, the unsuspecting man is startled by a massive crocodile that had escaped from an artist's apartment within the same building. With adrenaline pumping through his veins, he leaps onto a windowsill and desperately calls for help. The scene is filled with tension as onlookers gather around, their curiosity piqued by this strange encounter. Beltrame's illustration perfectly captures the fear and surprise etched on the young man's face as he clings to safety. The intricate details of the crocodile's teeth and tail add to its menacing presence. This unexpected meeting between an African creature and Viennese society highlights both danger and intrigue. The artwork serves as a reminder of how even in cosmopolitan cities like Vienna, where elegance and refinement reign supreme, nature can still intrude unexpectedly. It also showcases Beltrame's skill as an illustrator, capturing not only physical features but also conveying emotions through his art. This lithograph transports viewers back to that fateful night when an ordinary evening turned into an extraordinary African adventure right in the heart of Vienna.
