EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A young teacher, who arrived by bicycle near the Ticino village in Pavia, was hit. . " by Achille Beltrame depicts a remarkable incident that occurred in 1930. As the young teacher pedaled her way towards the village on her trusty bicycle, an unfortunate accident unfolded before her eyes. A car skidded desperately to avoid colliding with a cart, but instead crashed into the unsuspecting cyclist. In a twist of fate, the impact launched the young lady high into the air, reaching astonishing heights up to where telephone wires hung above. Miraculously, both she and the passengers inside the overturned car emerged unharmed from this extraordinary event. The illustration captures this momentous scene for Courier Sunday on September 14th. The image showcases not only the dangers of road accidents but also highlights how sometimes luck can be on our side even in dire circumstances. It serves as a reminder of how fragile life can be and emphasizes our shared vulnerability when navigating through modes of transportation. Beltrame's skillful depiction brings together elements of action and suspense while capturing attention to detail in his portrayal of vehicles and human figures. This artwork invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as resilience, chance encounters, and ultimately celebrates survival against all odds. Through this powerful visual narrative captured over nine decades ago, we are reminded that every journey holds unexpected twists and turns – some leading us soaring through unimaginable heights while others test our ability to rise again after falling down.
