EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Every week's scene at Asmara" by Achille Beltrame takes us back to the vibrant streets of Asmara in 1939. The image captures the bustling energy of newspaper deliveries, with a group of young paper boys eagerly running through the colonial city. Dressed in their distinctive uniforms, these Eritrean boys proudly represent their African colony under Italian rule. Their hats and clothing symbolize both their identity as Africans and their connection to the imperial power that governs them. As they sprint through the streets, it is evident that delivering newspapers is not just a job for these children but also an athletic endeavor. Their youthful enthusiasm shines through as they navigate the busy roads with agility and determination. The illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday, a popular publication during that time period. It offers a glimpse into everyday life in Asmara, showcasing how even mundane activities like newspaper delivery can become moments of excitement and camaraderie. Beltrame's artistic talent brings this historical moment to life, capturing not only the physicality of these young paper boys but also hinting at larger themes such as colonialism and cultural exchange. This print serves as a testament to both his skill as an illustrator and his ability to capture significant moments in history.
