EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Quickly stopped the train, on the Cremona-Mantua line, after the investment of a girl. . " captures a remarkable moment in history. In this vivid colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness an incredible incident that unfolded on a fateful day. On the Cremona-Mantua railway line, a young girl found herself in grave danger as she accidentally fell onto the tracks. However, against all odds and with nerves of steel, she managed to position herself between the rails just moments before an approaching train thundered towards her. As news spread among staff and passengers aboard the train about what had occurred, panic ensued. The locomotive screeched to an abrupt halt as everyone rushed out anxiously to assess the situation. To their astonishment and relief, they discovered that despite being underneath a moving train's path, this brave girl remained unharmed. Illustrated for Courier Sunday on 15 October 1933, this image showcases not only human resilience but also serves as a testament to quick thinking under pressure. The miraculous survival of this young child amidst such perilous circumstances is truly awe-inspiring. Beltrame's artwork masterfully depicts both chaos and relief within one frame – from smoke billowing around distressed individuals to crowds gathering in disbelief at witnessing such an extraordinary event unfold before their eyes. This photograph print reminds us of humanity's capacity for bravery and highlights how even in moments of great adversity, miracles can occur when courage meets circumstance.
