EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant print captures a heart-wrenching scene in Berlin during Christmas time. Titled "Pitiful Christmas" the image depicts a group of children pressed against a shattered showcase of Christmas toys, their faces filled with fear and pain. The colour litho by Achille Beltrame, an Italian illustrator, portrays the aftermath of an accident that has left these innocent children wounded by broken glass. The composition is both dramatic and heartbreaking as it showcases the struggle and desperation of these young ones. Despite being surrounded by festive decorations and toys, their joyous holiday spirit has been overshadowed by this tragic incident. The shattered window serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities faced by these children. In this moment frozen in time, we witness not only physical injuries but also emotional scars etched on their faces. Their parents can be seen nearby, helpless witnesses to their child's suffering. It is a battle between innocence and adversity captured within one frame. Beltrame's illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday in December 1907, providing readers with a sobering reflection on the true meaning of Christmas amidst hardship. This thought-provoking image reminds us to cherish our loved ones during this season of giving while acknowledging those who may be less fortunate or facing difficult circumstances.
