At a costume ball in a town near Copenhagen (colour litho)
2777935 At a costume ball in a town near Copenhagen (colour litho) by Beltrame, Achille (1871-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: At a costume ball in a town near Copenhagen, two young men, dressed respectively as a tamer and a bear, represented, among the general hilarity, a sideshow scene. Suddenly the fake tamer, to give a greater likelihood to the joke, fired two blanks from the gun, the flashes of gunfire set the bears fur on fire, and transformed the wretch who was there locked in a living torch.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of both excitement and danger at a costume ball in a town near Copenhagen. The image, created by the talented artist Achille Beltrame, showcases two young men dressed as a tamer and a bear amidst the jubilant crowd. However, what began as an entertaining sideshow quickly turned into an unexpected spectacle. In an attempt to add authenticity to their act, the fake tamer fired two blanks from his gun. To everyone's horror, the flashes of gunfire ignited the bear's fur, transforming him into a living torch before their eyes. Panic ensued as guests scrambled to extinguish the flames and rescue the unfortunate individual trapped in this dangerous situation. The scene is filled with dramatic intensity as dancers continue to twirl around in their vibrant costumes while others desperately try to put out the fire. The image perfectly encapsulates both fear and entertainment within its frame. Beltrame's illustration was originally featured in Courier Sunday on March 30th, 1930, providing readers with an intriguing glimpse into this unforgettable event. This remarkable artwork serves as a reminder that even amidst joyous celebrations like costume balls, unforeseen dangers can arise unexpectedly.
