EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tragic accident that unfolded during the women's automotive elegance contest at the renowned Bois de Boulogne in Paris. Created by Achille Beltrame, this color lithograph depicts a devastating incident that occurred on a fateful day. In the image, we witness a lady behind the wheel of her car as she unintentionally collides with a forest guard due to an error in maneuvering. The impact causes her vehicle to veer out of control and plow into the crowd gathered for the event. Shocked and frightened, she mistakenly presses down on the accelerator instead of hitting the brakes, exacerbating an already dire situation. The consequences are heart-wrenching - twenty-two people are overwhelmed and wounded amidst chaos and panic. This illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on July 10th, 1932, documenting this unfortunate tragedy. Beltrame's artwork not only showcases his artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of how quickly life can take unexpected turns. It highlights both the beauty and danger associated with automobiles while shedding light on human vulnerability. As we gaze upon this historical piece, let us remember those affected by this calamity and reflect upon our own responsibility when operating vehicles. May it serve as a poignant reminder to prioritize safety above all else when navigating our modern world filled with motorized transportation options.
