A Flesh Idol? The Astonishing Capture of a Devil-Fish in Broome, Australia
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Achille Beltrame, we are transported back to the year 1928 and witness an extraordinary event that left the inhabitants of Broome in northern Australia astounded. The image depicts a scene filled with awe-struck onlookers as they gather around an enormous devil-fish that has been captured from the depths of the sea. Weighing over two tons, this flesh idol is one of the strangest monsters ever encountered in these waters. Its sheer size and otherworldly appearance have sparked both fear and fascination among those present. As men, women, and children stand together in amazement, their faces reflect a mixture of curiosity and reverence for this mysterious creature. The artist skillfully captures not only the crowd's reaction but also showcases elements of Australian culture through his detailed illustrations. From carts to idols to colonial figures, every aspect tells a story about the people who inhabit this land. Beltrame's artwork transports us into another time when exploration was still rife with wonder and discovery. It serves as a reminder that even within our modern world, there are still marvels waiting to be unveiled beneath the surface of our vast oceans. This intriguing lithograph invites us to ponder upon our relationship with nature and reminds us that there is always more than meets the eye when it comes to creatures dwelling deep within our planet's watery depths.
