It's Raining Bank Tickets!
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a chaotic scene on the streets of Marseille during a fierce Mistral windstorm. In this colorful lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness the unexpected aftermath of a lady's suitcase being violently blown open, scattering countless bank tickets into the air. Passers-by are caught in a frenzy as they scramble to collect the flying papers with great enthusiasm. The sheer zeal of these individuals results in the lady losing thousands of francs before she can even react. The illustration, originally created for Courier Sunday on December 20th, 1936, showcases both the power of nature and human behavior when faced with an unexpected windfall. The gusty winds symbolize not only the forceful Mistral but also evoke a sense of change and unpredictability. Amidst this whirlwind scenario, men and women alike join forces to catch as many banknotes as possible while others engage in playful battles over floating cash. Children jump and fight amidst the chaos, adding an element of youthful excitement to this extraordinary event. Beltrame's artwork offers us a glimpse into French culture at that time – bustling streets filled with lively crowds and spirited encounters. "It's Raining Bank Tickets!" is not just about money blowing away; it encapsulates moments where people come together in pursuit of fortune or simply reveling in life's unpredictable surprises.
