EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A village besieged by oxen" depicts a dramatic scene of Alaskan musk oxen charging towards a small village. The artist, Achille Beltrame, skillfully captures the intensity and danger of this encounter. The oxen, known for their small size but fierce nature, have multiplied in great numbers on the island of Nunivak and now pose a threat to the Eskimos who reside there. In this illustration for Courier Sunday from April 3rd, 1938, we witness the struggle faced by the Eskimos as they defend themselves against these attacking packs of oxen. Men and women are seen energetically fighting back with spears while children seek shelter within their huts. The snowy landscape adds to the harshness of this battle between humans and animals. The image serves as a reminder of how humans must adapt and protect themselves when confronted with challenges posed by wildlife in their natural habitats. It also highlights the delicate balance between human existence and animal populations in remote regions like Alaska. Beltrame's artwork not only showcases his talent as an illustrator but also sheds light on important issues surrounding conservation efforts and coexistence between different species. This print is a testament to both the beauty and dangers that can be found in our natural world.
