EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vintage print by Achille Beltrame, we are transported back to the glamorous world of 1920s London. The scene captures a truly unique event - a race like no other, where movie stars and celebrities have gathered for an afternoon of playful competition. At this extravagant party organized by the film industry's elite, actors and actresses embrace their inner child as they mount colorful rocking horses. With excitement in the air, these beloved figures from the silver screen engage in a spirited race of speed and skill. Although records may not have been shattered that day, it is evident that joy and laughter filled every moment. As illustrated in Beltrame's artwork for Courier Sunday on August 8th, 1926, this whimsical derby became a highlight of the celebration. The image showcases not only the famous faces but also emphasizes the innocence and simplicity found within childhood games. It serves as a reminder that even those living under constant public scrutiny can find solace in carefree moments such as these. Beltrame's illustration beautifully captures this bizarre yet enchanting spectacle with his signature style. Through his artistry, he transports us to an era when entertainment was both lavish and imaginative. This delightful snapshot from history reminds us all to embrace our inner child occasionally and revel in life's simple pleasures.
