EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a truly bizarre aviation accident that occurred in Cherbourg, France. The image depicts the wreckage of a Navy hydroplane that crashed between the ropes of a small Seine steamer before hitting the deck. Despite the dramatic scene, none of the ship's crew members were overwhelmed by this unexpected turn of events. However, all three airmen on board suffered serious injuries. The illustration, originally published in Courier Sunday in July 1922, showcases Beltrame Achille's artistic talent and attention to detail. The composition highlights the chaos and surprise surrounding this unusual incident. The wrecked seaplane lies amidst other ships and boats in Cherbourg harbor, creating an atmosphere of both awe and concern. As one examines this artwork closely, they can appreciate how it captures not only the wreckage but also various elements associated with aviation: wingspan, fuselage, motor plane technology - all brought together through Beltrame's skilled brushstrokes. The setting itself adds to the overall impact of this image; Cherbourg's coastal charm is evident as it blends seamlessly with its bustling port activity. This accident serves as a reminder that even within such picturesque surroundings accidents can occur unexpectedly. Overall, this print offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into an extraordinary moment frozen in time – where air meets water and disaster intertwines with human resilience.
