EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Amusement. . . of the other world" by Achille Beltrame takes us back to a peculiar event that once took place at the University of New York in Brooklyn. This colourful lithograph captures the essence of an extraordinary race known as the assault on the pants, where students engaged in a wild and comical struggle to tear apart their opponents' trousers. Divided into two groups, these university students fought fiercely, ripping and tearing each other's clothes with great enthusiasm. The image showcases a chaotic battle scene filled with destruction and mayhem, as young men engage in this bizarre contest. The artist's attention to detail brings out every rip and shred of clothing, emphasizing the intensity of this unique spectacle. This illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on 8th April 1928, offering readers a glimpse into this unusual tradition. Beltrame's work beautifully captures both the physical struggle between participants and their humorous expressions throughout this unconventional competition. Through this artwork, we are transported back to an era when such eccentric events were celebrated for their entertainment value. It serves as a reminder that even within academic institutions like universities, there is room for lightheartedness and playfulness among students. Beltrame's portrayal not only highlights the spirit of camaraderie but also showcases his skill as an illustrator from Italy. This piece stands as a testament to his ability to capture moments of confrontation and conflict while infusing them with humor and charm.
