A New Kind Marathon
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and bizarre print that captures the extraordinary feat of a Hungarian craftsman. In an attempt to travel from Graz to Budapest, a distance of approximately 300 kilometers, he embarked on this peculiar journey astride a double stepladder. Proceeding like on stilts, he managed to cover an average of ten kilometers per day. The image showcases the astonishment and curiosity of spectators who gathered along the roads and in villages to witness this unprecedented spectacle. Men, women, children - all were captivated by this unusual sight. However, as the crowd's interest grew exponentially upon his arrival in Budapest, it became clear that their enthusiasm posed serious risks for traffic safety. Illustrated by Achille Beltrame for Courier Sunday in August 1933, this artwork encapsulates both the strangeness and novelty surrounding such feats during that era. The photograph highlights not only the determination and physical prowess required for such challenges but also emphasizes society's fascination with these unconventional forms of entertainment. This rare glimpse into history reminds us how human ingenuity can push boundaries while simultaneously capturing our collective imagination. "A New Kind Marathon" serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of adventure and innovation that continues to inspire us today.
