EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Jungle in an English Village" transports us back to a remarkable incident that unfolded in Isleworth, England. In this vividly colored lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness the extraordinary sight of three lions roaming freely through the village streets. The image captures the fear and panic that gripped the local population as they encountered these majestic creatures unexpectedly. According to historical accounts, these lions had escaped from a nearby film factory where they were being used for filming purposes. As news spread of their escape, chaos ensued as people hurriedly sought shelter and safety. Policemen can be seen bravely attempting to recapture the wild animals using ropes while children and women anxiously watch from shop entrances. Beltrame's illustration beautifully depicts both the awe-inspiring presence of these big cats and the palpable tension felt by those caught up in this unexpected encounter with nature's untamed beauty. The artist masterfully conveys a sense of movement and urgency through his dynamic composition. Ultimately, after a long and thrilling hunt, all three lions were successfully captured without causing harm to anyone involved. This incredible event left an indelible mark on Isleworth's history, forever reminding its inhabitants of their close brush with wildlife adventure amidst their otherwise tranquil English village setting.
