EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a memorable scare experienced by Romanian peasants from the Banat region. As they entered their village church at dawn and approached the altar, they were confronted with an unexpected sight - a lion! Panic ensued as the villagers screamed in terror, realizing that the beast had escaped from a nearby menagerie. In this dramatic moment frozen in time, we see the fear-stricken faces of both men and women as they desperately try to escape. The lion, however, seems content to merely roar in response to their cries. It is thanks to this temporary distraction that the unfortunate peasants are able to save themselves. The image showcases not only the panic-inducing encounter but also highlights elements of traditional Romanian culture. The villagers' clothing reflects their rural lifestyle and adds authenticity to this extraordinary event. The grandeur of the church's architecture is juxtaposed against the chaos unfolding within its walls. Beltrame Achille's skillful illustration for Courier Sunday on September 10th, 1933 brings this incredible story to life. This photograph serves as a reminder of how unexpected events can disrupt even sacred spaces and instill fear in people's hearts. Through this image, we glimpse into a past where wild animals occasionally crossed paths with unsuspecting villagers, creating moments that would forever be etched into their memories.
