EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Extraordinary cases" by Achille Beltrame tells a gripping story of betrayal and survival. The image depicts an American naval captain who callously abandoned his wife on a deserted island in the vast Pacific Ocean, hoping to rid himself of her presence. Left to fend for herself, the courageous woman endured four months of isolation and hardship before finally catching the attention of a passing ship. Her distress signals were seen by the compassionate crew, who rescued her from near madness and wildness. Meanwhile, back in San Francisco, justice awaited the heartless husband as he was arrested for his inhumane actions. This powerful illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on November 14th, 1937. The artwork beautifully captures the contrasting elements of this extraordinary tale – from the tranquil beauty of the ocean and rocky shores to the desperation conveyed through waving hands on a desolate beach. It serves as a reminder that even amidst such cruelty and abandonment, there is still hope for salvation. Beltrame's skillful use of color lithography brings this dramatic narrative to life with vivid hues that enhance both its emotional impact and historical significance. This print not only showcases Beltrame's talent as an illustrator but also highlights an important news item from that era. Overall, this thought-provoking image invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as love, betrayal, resilience, justice, and human nature itself.
