A Heroic Rescue on the Milano-Erba-Asso Line
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment of bravery and selflessness on the Milano-Erba-Asso line. In this vividly colored lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness an extraordinary act of heroism that unfolded in 1922. The scene depicts conductor Carlo Brambilla witnessing a heart-stopping situation unfold before his eyes. Despite the desperate attempts of the stoker and train driver to save a three-year-old girl playing on the tracks, their efforts prove futile. Without hesitation, Brambilla leaps off the moving train and embarks on a daring race against time. With smoke billowing from the steam engine behind him, Brambilla sprints towards the child who stands perilously close to imminent danger. The tension is palpable as he manages to reach her just moments before disaster strikes – mere inches separate them from catastrophe. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday perfectly captures this heroic moment frozen in time. It serves as a testament to human courage and compassion amidst chaos and danger. This image reminds us of our capacity for acts of bravery when faced with adversity. Through this artwork, we are transported back to that fateful day in 1922 when one man's quick thinking saved a young life. It serves as an everlasting tribute not only to Carlo Brambilla but also to all those unsung heroes who risk their own safety for others every day.
