Achille Algiers Beltrame Corriere De L Departure Domenica Etching Posted Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative etching by Achille Beltrame captures the poignant moment of departure for a group of French soldiers, bound for Algiers in 1901. The scene unfolds on the bustling streets of Paris, with the Gare de Lyon railway station looming in the background. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and bearing their equipment, bid farewell to their loved ones, their faces etched with a mixture of determination and sadness. The crowd of onlookers, a sea of hats and coats, watches the scene unfold with a sense of solemnity and anticipation. The use of etching technique adds depth and texture to the image, capturing the intricacies of the soldiers' uniforms and the rough texture of the Parisian cobblestones. The muted color palette of the print adds to the sense of nostalgia and historical authenticity. This poignant image, published in the Italian weekly newspaper 'La Domenica del Corriere', offers a glimpse into the experiences of French soldiers during this period of colonial expansion and the emotional toll it took on families and communities.
