EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The great heat of New York forces people to bathe in the fountains and escape the sun" we are transported back to a scorching summer day in 1911. The image, captured by Italian illustrator Achille Beltrame, depicts a bustling street scene where men, women, and children seek respite from the sweltering heat. As temperatures soar, individuals clad in their finest clothing flock to the city's fountains for relief. Parasols provide some shade as they gather around these water sources, seeking solace from the burning sun. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring to life both the intensity of the heat and the determination of those trying to beat it. Beltrame's illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday magazine in July 1911. It serves as a poignant reminder of how extreme weather conditions can push us to find creative ways to cope with nature's challenges. This snapshot into history showcases not only human resilience but also our ability to adapt and find comfort amidst adversity. "The great heat of New York" transports us back over a century ago when escaping into cool waters was an essential survival strategy during scorching summers. As we gaze at this mesmerizing artwork today, it serves as a testament to our enduring quest for relief from relentless weather patterns that have shaped our lives throughout history.
