EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tragedies on the Sea" by Achille Beltrame depicts a tragic event that unfolded in the waters of Singapore. The image showcases the British steamer Sirdhana, which met its untimely demise after hitting a drifting mine. In just 15 minutes, this once majestic vessel foundered and sank into the depths of the ocean. What makes this particular tragedy even more heart-wrenching is that onboard were 117 Chinese deportees who were locked in a large cage. However, at the last moment, they managed to escape their confinement as a courageous policeman blew open the locks with his revolver. These brave individuals jumped into the water, narrowly avoiding their potential fate. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday in November 1939 captures both the chaos and desperation of this devastating event. It serves as a poignant reminder of how quickly lives can be forever altered by unforeseen circumstances at sea. The image not only highlights human resilience but also sheds light on historical events during times of war and deportation. Through his masterful use of color lithography, Beltrame brings forth an emotional connection between viewers and those affected by such tragedies. This powerful artwork stands as a testament to both human strength and vulnerability amidst perilous conditions on our vast oceans.
