EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history as news of an attack on the King of Greece spreads. In this vividly colored lithograph, we see an ostrich running over King George II in the garden of Falero near Athens. The image, created by Italian illustrator Achille Beltrame, was originally published in Courier Sunday on February 9th, 1902. The scene is filled with intrigue and curiosity as the majestic ostrich invests the king while guards rush to his aid. The lush greenery of the garden and towering trees provide a picturesque backdrop to this extraordinary event. The king's royal uniform stands out against the vibrant surroundings, emphasizing his importance and vulnerability in this unexpected assault. Beltrame's attention to detail is evident in every element of this composition - from the intricate rendering of feathers on the ostrich to the lifelike expressions on each character's face. This artwork not only showcases Beltrame's artistic talent but also serves as a historical record of a significant incident during King George II's reign. As viewers gaze upon this magnificent print, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand how news traveled and events unfolded at that period. It serves as a reminder that even those who hold positions of power can be caught off guard by unforeseen circumstances.
