EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the treacherous journey aboard the Savoie steamer. In this vividly colored lithograph by Achille Beltrame, we witness the aftermath of a violent storm that caused chaos and danger on board. The image depicts a grand piano being tossed around in the great hall, posing a significant threat to passengers who were present. The sailors are shown desperately trying to secure the piano amidst endless efforts. This dramatic scene highlights both the power of nature and human resilience in times of adversity. The illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on January 14-21,1923, providing readers with an insight into this harrowing experience at sea. The delayed arrival of the ship due to adverse weather conditions emphasizes just how challenging these transatlantic crossings could be during that era. This artwork not only showcases the perils faced by those crossing the Atlantic but also offers glimpses into social dynamics and luxury associated with such voyages. It portrays men and women dressed elegantly, enjoying music played on board despite turbulent circumstances. Beltrame's skillful rendering brings to life this historical event, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in an intense moment from maritime history. As we gaze upon "A Scary Crossing of the Atlantic" we cannot help but feel awe for those who braved such perilous journeys across vast oceans in pursuit of new horizons.
