EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in the lives of two Russian aeronauts. As they embarked on a thrilling balloon excursion, their plans were abruptly halted by an unexpected hurricane. Forced to descend into the vast steppe below, they soon found themselves surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves. In this vivid illustration by Achille Beltrame, we witness the intense struggle for survival that ensued. With revolvers in hand, these brave aviators valiantly defended themselves against the relentless onslaught of their wild adversaries. The snowy landscape adds an additional layer of danger and tension to the scene as snowflakes fall around them. Published in Courier Sunday on April 21st, 1935, this image serves as a testament to both human resilience and nature's unforgiving power. It reminds us of the risks faced by early pioneers of aviation who dared to explore uncharted territories from above. Beltrame's masterful use of color lithography brings every detail to life - from the menacing glint in each wolf's eye to the intricate patterns on the hot air balloon itself. This artwork not only showcases his talent as an illustrator but also highlights his ability to capture moments filled with action and emotion. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time and reminded of humanity's indomitable spirit when faced with adversity.
