EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame depicts the abandoned Milan-Bologna direct train during a heavy snowfall that lasted for an astonishing twenty hours. The chilling scene showcases the train covered in thick layers of snow, with no signs of heating to provide warmth to its passengers. Located near Piacenza, this unfortunate event unfolded without any respite from the freezing temperatures. The illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday and appeared on January 15-22,1911. It portrays a snapshot of life during that time period when public transport was not as advanced as it is today. In this frozen landscape, we see a diverse group of individuals - men, women, children - bundled up in coats and hats trying to endure the bitter cold inside the crowded compartments. The image captures both the physical discomfort and resilience displayed by these travelers as they huddle together on benches and seats while snow continues to fall outside. Luggage and bags are scattered throughout the carriages, highlighting their struggle to carry their belongings amidst such challenging conditions. Beltrame's attention to detail brings this historical moment vividly back to life. From the expressions on people's faces to the blowing snowflakes through open windows, every element contributes to creating a sense of realism within this frozen world. Overall, this print serves as a powerful reminder of how weather can disrupt our daily lives and highlights humanity's ability to persevere even in adverse circumstances.
