EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "British sports oddities" by Achille Beltrame showcases a truly unusual sporting event that took place in the outskirts of London. The image captures two women's teams engaged in a game of push ball, where they are mounted on donkeys instead of horses. The gigantic ball around which the game revolves adds to the bizarre nature of this spectacle. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life this peculiar scene from 1931. It is fascinating to see how these women confidently ride their donkeys, navigating through fields reminiscent of traditional English landscapes. This snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when unconventional sports were embraced and celebrated. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday perfectly encapsulates the spirit of British culture with its eccentricity and love for unique pastimes. The combination of animals, girls, and sports creates an intriguing visual narrative that sparks curiosity among viewers. As we admire this print, we can't help but marvel at the creativity and imagination behind such games. It serves as a reminder that sport has always been an integral part of British society, even if it occasionally takes on unexpected forms. This print is not only a testament to Beltrame's artistic talent but also provides us with a window into historical moments that continue to captivate our imaginations today.
