EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment in the Aosta Valley, Italy. The trolley of a cable car is seen descending downstream in Avise, carrying a contractor and his loyal wolf dog. However, disaster strikes as the brakes suddenly break, leaving them hurtling towards danger. Miraculously, from the departure station, they manage to stop the dizzying race over the abyss and transmit a rope to the traveler. In an act of selflessness and love for his companion, the contractor drops his trusty wolf dog first before being rescued himself. This brave canine had once saved him during a previous mountain misfortune, highlighting their unbreakable bond. Illustrated by Achille Beltrame for Courier Sunday on 19 June 1932, this color lithograph brings to life this heart-stopping event that unfolded high above the valleys of Avise. The image showcases not only the perilous nature of suspended cable cars but also emphasizes human-animal relationships amidst danger. The artwork evokes both drama and tension as it portrays man's struggle against adversity in treacherous mountain terrain. It serves as a reminder of how even in moments of great risk and uncertainty, our connection with animals can provide solace and strength. This powerful image by Beltrame offers viewers a glimpse into an extraordinary incident that took place many years ago but continues to resonate today with its themes of bravery and companionship amidst danger.
