EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An exceptional joke" by Achille Beltrame captures a remarkable moment during the flood of the Rhone in Lyon. In this chaotic scene, a wild boar, swept away by the rushing waters, manages to swim across the river and reach the city. As it runs through a neighborhood, two cyclists are unfortunate victims of its rampage, with one cyclist suffering a broken leg. The intense pursuit begins as authorities and brave civilians chase after the escaped boar. The streets are filled with panic as people try to escape its path. Eventually, after an arduous hunt, a police officer successfully shoots down the beast with his revolver. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday on November 4th, 1928 beautifully depicts this thrilling event that unfolded in Lyon. The image showcases not only the chaos caused by this unexpected visitor but also highlights the bravery and determination of those involved in recapturing it. With intricate details capturing every aspect of this extraordinary incident - from fallen cyclists to frightened pedestrians - Beltrame transports us back in time to witness this unforgettable moment firsthand. This artwork serves as a testament to both nature's power and humanity's resilience in overcoming unexpected challenges.
