The Cold Blood of a Stationmaster - A Glimpse into Danger and Heroism
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we are transported back to the early 20th century, where danger lurked around every corner in the world of railways. The image depicts a small railway station bustling with activity as a steam train approaches at full speed. Amongst the chaos, our attention is drawn to the figure of a brave stationmaster. With nerves of steel and unwavering determination, he stretches himself between the rails, risking his own life to ensure that no one is crushed by the passing locomotive. His cold-blooded composure in such perilous circumstances is both awe-inspiring and chilling. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of an Italian railway platform filled with anxious onlookers. The crowd watches in anticipation as this fearless guardian puts himself in harm's way to protect them all. It is through acts like these that heroes are born. Beltrame's masterful illustration was originally featured in La Domenica Del Corriere magazine on February 22nd - March 1st, 1914. This gripping artwork serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep our railways safe and operational. As we gaze upon this print from yesteryear, let us pay homage to all those unsung heroes who risked their lives for public safety and transport efficiency during an era when rail travel was still fraught with risks and uncertainties.
