EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of a catastrophic event in a Milanese factory. The image showcases the spectacular ruin of ceramics, resulting from the smashing of a large shelf. Created by renowned artist Achille Beltrame, this colour lithograph provides a vivid depiction of the chaos and destruction that unfolded on that fateful day. The incident caused nine workers to sustain injuries, adding an element of tragedy to this scene. Plates and crockery can be seen falling and shattering as shelves collapse around them. The fallen debris creates a dramatic visual impact, emphasizing the magnitude of the disaster. Beltrame's illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on April 19th, 1931. It serves as both documentation and commentary on workplace accidents during that era. This piece sheds light on the dangers faced by Italian workers at that time while also highlighting their resilience in such challenging circumstances. The image offers glimpses into various aspects of life within an Italian factory – from storerooms filled with fragile ceramics to hardworking men and women who dedicated themselves to their craft. Additionally, it hints at societal roles with humorous undertones through its portrayal of feminine ladies and masculine gents. Overall, this print is not only visually striking but also serves as a historical record capturing an unfortunate event in Milanese industrial history.
