EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and energetic print captures the novelties in the realm of sports during the early 20th century. Titled "The Novelties in the Realm of Sports, The Auto-Pushball" this colourful lithograph by Achille Beltrame showcases a unique game that was gaining great success at the time. The image depicts six cars participating in an auto-pushball game, which follows similar rules to polo. This new craze had made its way to San Francisco, where it quickly became popular among Americans. The players drive their automobiles on a field resembling a flower meadow or pastures, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. What makes this image even more intriguing is that one of the drivers is portrayed as a female chauffeuse, highlighting gender diversity and breaking societal norms for women at that time. Beltrame's illustration perfectly captures both the excitement and strangeness surrounding this emerging sport. With its bold colours and dynamic composition, it transports viewers back to an era when innovation and novelty were highly celebrated. Overall, this print serves as a fascinating glimpse into America's sporting history while showcasing Beltrame's artistic talent in capturing such captivating moments from everyday life.
