EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Shower of Snakes" takes us back to a small rural school in the village of Fairchild, Wisconsin, in 1928. The peaceful atmosphere of the classroom was abruptly shattered when numerous snakes suddenly descended from a crack in the ceiling. Chaos ensued as panic gripped both students and teachers alike. However, what initially seemed like a dangerous situation turned out to be harmless as these were innocent reptiles. With fear giving way to curiosity and excitement, the villagers embarked on a merry hunt for these unexpected visitors. The image captures the astonishment and amusement on their faces as they navigate through desks and benches, books and papers strewn about. Beltrame Achille's skillful illustration brings this extraordinary event to life with vivid colors that contrast against the backdrop of an idyllic countryside scene outside the window. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of danger or surprise, there is always room for joy and adventure. The photograph not only showcases Beltrame's artistic talent but also offers us a glimpse into rural American life during that time period. It reminds us of our innate connection with nature and how unexpected events can bring communities together in pursuit of shared experiences.
