EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tragic incident that unfolded during a children's show in a cinema located in a bustling Scottish village. The color lithograph, created by Achille Beltrame, depicts the horrifying moment when a fire broke out in the projection booth, causing panic and chaos among the young spectators. As smoke billows and flames flicker ominously, small figures of girls and boys can be seen running frantically towards the exits. Women and men desperately try to escape the burning cinema, their faces etched with fear and desperation. In this heart-wrenching scene, seventy-three innocent children lost their lives due to being crushed or suffocated by smoke and gas fumes. The tragedy serves as a stark reminder of the dangers inherent in cinematography and highlights the devastating consequences that can arise from such accidents. The image evokes feelings of sorrow for those who perished and admiration for those who managed to escape unharmed. Beltrame's illustration was originally published on January 12th, 1930, in Courier Sunday magazine. It stands as both a historical record of this harrowing event and an artistic representation of human vulnerability amidst disaster. This poignant artwork serves as a somber tribute to all those affected by this tragedy while also reminding us of our responsibility to prioritize safety measures within public spaces like cinemas.
