EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a chaotic scene in Leipzig, Germany, where a lion cage lies shattered after a collision on the streets. The image depicts the terrifying flight of the wild beasts among the unsuspecting public, creating an atmosphere of fear and panic. The dark and ominous backdrop adds to the intensity of the moment. Illustrated for Courier Sunday in November 1913 by Achille Beltrame, this artwork showcases the sheer power and unpredictability of these majestic creatures. With blood staining the streets and broken cages scattered around, it is evident that chaos has ensued. The lioness can be seen running free amidst the chaos, her escape from captivity both awe-inspiring and dangerous. Unfortunately, some have fallen victim to her savage instincts as she leaves behind a trail of death and destruction. The image highlights not only the danger posed by these escaped animals but also raises questions about human responsibility in keeping such powerful creatures confined. It serves as a reminder that even within our carefully constructed cages, nature's raw power cannot always be contained. Beltrame's skillful use of color lithography brings this dramatic event to life with vivid detail. This historical snapshot offers viewers a glimpse into an extraordinary incident that unfolded on those fateful Leipzig streets over a century ago.
