EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ladies of America's highest society caught by policemen playing in a women's club near Newport" captures a moment of scandal and intrigue. Taken by the talented Italian illustrator Achille Beltrame, this color lithograph showcases a scene that unfolded in August 1910. In this image, we see a group of elegantly dressed ladies surrounded by armed policemen. The women, who are members of America's elite society, were caught engaging in illegal gambling activities within the confines of their exclusive women's club. Their fashionable attire and stylish hats add an air of sophistication to the otherwise unlawful situation. The arresting officers stand tall and stern, showcasing their authority as they apprehend these high-profile criminals. Guns drawn and uniforms pristine, they represent law enforcement at its finest. The setting is a lavish clubhouse filled with exquisite furniture and single chairs upholstered with care. This luxurious backdrop contrasts sharply with the criminal activity taking place within its walls. Beltrame masterfully captures both the glamour and danger inherent in this news item from 1910. Through his artistic lens, he transports us back to an era where even those at the pinnacle of society could find themselves on the wrong side of the law. This intriguing piece serves as a reminder that beneath every façade lies hidden stories waiting to be uncovered – even among America's highest echelons.
