In an Austrian seaside resort, several Viennese girls who used, going to the beach, to cross the village in their bathing suits, were attacked and beaten by a group of peasants armed with bundles of nettles.

The Avengers of Morality
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking print that captures a significant event in history. The image, created by Achille Beltrame in 1927, depicts an incident that occurred in an Austrian seaside resort. A group of peasants armed with bundles of nettles attacked and beat several Viennese girls who were crossing the village in their bathing suits. The attack was provoked by the villagers' disapproval of the young bathers flaunting their beauty with obvious complacency. This powerful illustration for Courier Sunday on August 21st sheds light on societal norms and challenges our understanding of morality. In this chaotic scene, we witness the girls running through the streets as they face a gauntlet of angry peasants wielding stinging branches. The costumes worn by both parties symbolize tradition and clash with modernity, highlighting the tension between changing values and conservative beliefs. Beltrame's artwork not only captures this shocking event but also delves into deeper themes such as anger, emotion, and societal expectations. It serves as a reminder that moral codes can vary greatly across different cultures and time periods. "The Avengers of Morality" invites viewers to reflect upon issues surrounding gender roles, body autonomy, cultural clashes, and social conformity. Through its intricate details and historical context, this remarkable lithograph provokes discussion about ethics while showcasing Beltrame's artistic talent in capturing complex emotions within a single frame.
