EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Watchcats" by Achille Beltrame depicts a truly unusual scene. In a Spanish village, two marauders attempt to rob a peasant's house through the chimney hood, only to be met with fierce resistance from two big wild cats trained by the homeowner. The ferocious felines launch themselves at the burglars, knocking them off their feet and sending them fleeing in fear. The image captures the bizarre yet effective security measure employed by this villager to protect his home from thieves. The cats' instinctual aggression and loyalty make them formidable guardians, as they bravely defend their owner's property against any intruders. In this battle between man-made crime and nature's defenders, the tables are turned on the would-be robbers. The villagers witness this extraordinary confrontation in awe as these fearless creatures fight for what is rightfully theirs. Beltrame's illustration for Courier Sunday on February 7th, 1932 brings attention to an intriguing news item that showcases both the ingenuity of homeowners and the resourcefulness of animals when it comes to protecting their territory. This artwork serves as a reminder that sometimes even unconventional methods can prove effective in deterring criminals. It also highlights how our furry companions can play unexpected roles in safeguarding our homes and possessions.
