EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in aviation history. The image depicts a French military airplane, suspended against the facade of a three-story house after being abandoned mid-flight due to an engine failure. The aviators, facing imminent danger, were forced to deploy their parachutes and escape from the stricken aircraft. The impact of the plane against the building was so forceful that it brought down all the stairs within, leaving two children and three women isolated on the third floor. Thankfully, brave firemen swiftly arrived at the scene to rescue them from their perilous situation. The artwork, created by Achille Beltrame in 1930 for Courier Sunday magazine, showcases not only this extraordinary event but also highlights the heroism and quick thinking of both aviators and rescuers alike. In this powerful illustration, we witness how technology can falter even in moments of great triumph. It serves as a reminder that human ingenuity is often required to overcome unexpected challenges. Moreover, it emphasizes how teamwork between different branches of service – such as aviation and firefighting – can save lives during times of crisis. Beltrame's skillful use of color lithography brings vibrancy to this historic scene while capturing every detail with precision. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to both human resilience and our ability to adapt when faced with adversity.
