One of them escaped; the other managed to pull the beast back by hitting it on the muzzle with the pitcher; but it was then thrown to the ground and would certainly have been mauled if some peasants, called by the other woman, did not had killed the bear.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this dramatic lithograph print by Achille Beltrame, we witness a terrifying encounter between two women and a bear in the village of Bokain, Bosnia. The scene captures the moment when the bear attacks the women who had ventured to draw water from a nearby spring. One woman manages to escape, while the other bravely fights back using her pitcher as a weapon. The intense struggle unfolds before our eyes as the bear lunges at its victim, claws outstretched. The villagers are alerted by the commotion and rush to help, eventually killing the ferocious beast. This harrowing incident serves as a reminder of both the dangers that lurk in nature and the strength of human resilience. Beltrame's illustration was originally published in Courier Sunday on September 8th, 1929, capturing an extraordinary news item that gripped readers at that time. The artist skillfully portrays not only the fear and danger faced by these women but also highlights their traditional Bosnian attire amidst chaos. This artwork is an evocative testament to human survival instincts and community support during times of peril. It reminds us of our vulnerability in nature's presence while celebrating our ability to overcome adversity together.
