EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "A train leaving Merzdorf, near Wrocław" captures a dramatic moment frozen in time. The scene depicts a train departing from the station just as chaos ensues. Two masked bandits have brazenly jumped into the postal car, launching an audacious attack on the lone employee responsible for its service. In this heart-pounding illustration by Achille Beltrame, we witness the swift and calculated actions of these criminals. After overpowering their victim and rendering him helpless with restraints and a gag, they seize a substantial sum of ten thousand marks. With their ill-gotten gains secured, they fearlessly leap from the speeding train into anonymity. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line conveys tension and movement. The dimly lit railway carriages create an atmosphere of mystery while emphasizing the clandestine nature of this crime. As our eyes follow the tracks disappearing into darkness, we are left wondering if justice will prevail or if these elusive robbers will forever evade capture. Beltrame's illustration was originally featured in Courier Sunday on November 2nd, 1930 - a testament to his ability to captivate audiences through visual storytelling. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of criminality during that era. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only a daring robbery but also glimpse into society's fascination with outlaws and lawbreakers. It reminds us that even within seemingly ordinary moments like trains leaving stations lies untold stories waiting to be discovered.
