EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment during the mesmerizing performances of a fire eater in London. The color lithograph, created by Achille Beltrame, showcases the awe-inspiring skills of the fire breather as he displays his daring stunts on a bustling square. However, amidst the excitement and admiration from spectators, tragedy strikes. In an unfortunate accident, a jet of inflamed oil accidentally hits several boys who had ventured too close to witness the spectacle up close. Three of them suffer severe burns while others are slightly affected. This illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on June 22nd, 1930. The image portrays not only the danger and risks associated with such performances but also highlights the vulnerability of innocent bystanders caught up in unexpected events. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly thrilling acts can have tragic consequences. Beltrame's artwork skillfully depicts the chaotic scene with its vivid colors and attention to detail. The crowd's expressions range from shock to concern as they witness this unforeseen turn of events unfold before their eyes. This photograph print is both visually striking and emotionally evocative, capturing a fleeting moment that forever changed lives. It stands as a testament to both human resilience and our capacity for compassion in times of adversity.
