EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating scene of vast forest fires on the lakes of Como and Maggiore. The image showcases a group of determined troops, armed with axes, as they work tirelessly to prevent the relentless march of fire through the woodland. The soldiers are joined by courageous civilians who have joined forces in this battle against nature's destructive force. The intensity of the flames is evident, as thick billows of smoke rise into the sky. The team can be seen strategically chopping down trees to create firebreaks, clearing away potential fuel for the raging inferno. Their efforts are crucial in containing and controlling the spread of these disastrous fires. Beltrame Achille's masterful colour litho brings this dramatic event to life, capturing both the urgency and bravery displayed by those involved. This illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday on 24th March 1907. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded not only of nature's unpredictable power but also of humanity's resilience and determination in times of crisis. It serves as a testament to our ability to come together and fight against overwhelming odds when faced with adversity.
