EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history, showcasing the resilience and determination of an Italian worker. After enduring ten days of being buried under tunnel boulders, this courageous man emerged alive, defying all odds. The image depicts the aftermath of the Bruggwald tunnel collapse in Switzerland in 1909. The dark and gloomy setting symbolizes the harrowing conditions that these laborers faced while working underground. However, amidst the darkness, there is a glimmer of hope as fellow workers come together to rescue their comrade. The scene showcases the power of teamwork and solidarity as they dig through layers of debris to liberate their trapped colleague. The use of timber beams adds a sense of urgency and danger to the situation, highlighting the risks involved in such rescues. Beltrame Achille's masterful illustration skillfully captures both the physical exertion and emotional intensity present during this dramatic event. The light emanating from lamps illuminates not only their path but also serves as a metaphor for hope and salvation. This powerful image reminds us of the sacrifices made by workers around the world who face dangerous conditions daily to support themselves and their families. It is a testament to human strength, resilience, and our innate ability to overcome adversity even in seemingly impossible situations.
