EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Discovery Of A Gambling Site In Florence, Ps Guards Invade The Game Room" by Achille Beltrame, takes us back to the early 20th century in Italy. The scene depicts a dramatic moment as state police guards storm into a clandestine gambling den in Florence. The vibrant colors of this litho bring to life the chaos and excitement of the raid. We see gamblers frozen in shock as they are caught red-handed engaging in illegal betting activities. Detectives swiftly move through the room, apprehending individuals involved in this illicit operation. Beltrame's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures every aspect of this intense scene. From the expressions on people's faces to their body language, we can feel their fear and anticipation during this unexpected turn of events. This illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on March 18th, 1900, serving as a visual representation of a news item that shocked Florentine society at that time. It serves as a reminder that even amidst beautiful cities like Florence, hidden vices can lurk beneath the surface. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, it transports us back to an era when gambling was both thrilling and forbidden. Beltrame's work allows us to witness firsthand the consequences faced by those who dared challenge societal norms for their own gain. Overall, "Discovery Of A Gambling Site In Florence" is not only an exquisite piece of art but also a historical snapshot capturing an important moment
