EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Firefighters in a strange uniform" by Achille Beltrame takes us back to the early 20th century, where tradition and innovation collided at the famous English college, Eton. In an effort to maintain their esteemed customs even during fire-fighting exercises, Eton students were required to don their long dresses and top hats. The image showcases a group of young schoolboys stretching and jumping while dressed in these peculiar uniforms. Their faces reflect determination as they train rigorously under the watchful eyes of experienced firefighters. The stretched ladders against the backdrop of the grand school building add an air of excitement and curiosity to this scene. Eton College's commitment to providing its students with comprehensive training is evident through this snapshot. It highlights not only their dedication towards academic excellence but also instilling important life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and bravery. Beltrame's skillful illustration for La Domenica Del Corriere captures both the peculiarity and charm of this unique practice within British education history. This rare glimpse into Eton's firefighting maneuvers serves as a reminder that traditions can be upheld even when adapting to new challenges. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of how institutions like Eton shape individuals who go on to become leaders in various fields across Britain and beyond.
