The Sad Exodus of the Finns
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and poignant image that captures the heart-wrenching reality of war and displacement. In this colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness the aftermath of the Winter War as Finnish refugees make their way towards safety. From the Karelian isthmus and cities ceded to Russia, endless columns of men, women, children, and animals trudge through snow-covered landscapes. They are accompanied by retreating soldiers who carry with them not only their weapons but also their possessions - cattle and household goods - symbolizing their hopes for a better future. The frozen terrain mirrors the harshness of their journey as they brave freezing temperatures in search of refuge. The presence of dogs adds another layer to this scene; loyal companions providing comfort amidst chaos. Beltrame's illustration was originally published in Courier Sunday during March 1940 when World War II was unfolding. It serves as a reminder that war knows no boundaries or mercy, affecting even those far away from battlefields. This print evokes empathy for those displaced by conflict while shedding light on the resilience and determination displayed by these Finnish refugees. It stands as a testament to human endurance in times of adversity and reminds us all to cherish peace whenever possible.
