EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Old Man's Daredevil Attempt" by Achille Beltrame captures a remarkable moment in history. In the bustling city of Paris, an elderly man named Blanguier dared to defy gravity and win a bet that seemed impossible. At the age of seventy, he fearlessly boarded an aircraft and jumped from a staggering height of 340 meters. With only a simple sheet as his parachute, Blanguier descended through the sky with astonishing courage. The onlookers held their breath as they witnessed this audacious feat unfold before their eyes. Miraculously, he touched the ground unscathed, proving that age is no barrier to adventure and daring. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday in February 1921 immortalizes this extraordinary event. The image showcases not only Blanguier's bravery but also highlights the curiosity and fascination surrounding aviation during the early twentieth century. In this artwork, Beltrame masterfully captures both the excitement and danger associated with such daredevil stunts. His attention to detail brings every element of this scene to life – from the vintage aircraft soaring above Parisian rooftops to Blanguier floating gracefully towards earth. This vibrant color lithograph serves as a testament to human resilience and determination while reminding us all that it is never too late to chase our dreams or take risks against all odds.
