A Mother's Tremendous Hours
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and poignant colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame, depicting a heart-wrenching moment of bravery and love. In this powerful image, we witness the incredible strength and determination of a young mother as she battles against the forces of nature to protect her child. Caught in a sudden flood in a public garden in Melbourne, Australia, this courageous woman refuses to succumb to despair. With water rising up to her throat, she clutches her precious baby tightly within her clenched palms. For twelve agonizing hours, she fights against the relentless currents while cradling her child above the treacherous waters. As night falls and exhaustion sets in, the cries of the infant cease as he peacefully falls asleep in his mother's arms. The tragedy unfolds before our eyes as we are reminded of both the fragility and resilience of life. Beltrame's evocative illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on December 16th, 1934. It serves as a testament to maternal love that transcends all boundaries – geographical or otherwise. This artwork captures not only an extraordinary act of heroism but also highlights themes such as family bonds, sacrifice, and human perseverance. "A Mother's Tremendous Hours" reminds us that even amidst adversity and tragedy, there exists an unbreakable bond between mothers and their children—a bond capable of defying even the harshest elements nature can throw at them.
