EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Curious Celebrations" takes us back to the vibrant streets of New York in 1921. The image captures a peculiar commemoration of the city's first railway line, which had been established exactly a century prior. In this colourful lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we see a slow-moving convoy making its way through bustling streets filled with curious onlookers. Men, women, and children alike have gathered to witness this historical reenactment. Dressed in elaborate costumes reminiscent of the early 19th century, they bring an air of enchantment to the scene. Steam billows from the vintage locomotive as it pulls carriages adorned with ornate designs and Pullman cars. The atmosphere is one of excitement and wonder as families come together for this unique celebration. Children peer out from their perches atop carriages or stand alongside their parents, captivated by the spectacle before them. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, we are reminded of America's rich heritage and its ever-evolving public transport system. This image encapsulates both curiosity and admiration for progress made over time. Beltrame's artistic talent shines through his intricate attention to detail in costume design and capturing expressions that reflect genuine awe. It serves as a testament to his skill as an illustrator hailing from Italy. "The Curious Celebrations" transports us back to an era where imagination thrived amidst technological advancements—a moment frozen in time that continues to intrigue viewers today.
