EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a thrilling moment during a circus performance in Burgundy. In the midst of the show, a courageous lioness manages to escape from her open cage at the top, sending shockwaves through the entire country. The image depicts the chaos and fear that ensues as spectators witness this unexpected turn of events. The artist Achille Beltrame skillfully portrays the intensity of the scene, emphasizing the wild nature of these majestic animals. The lioness is seen mid-jump, displaying her strength and agility as she breaks free from captivity. The crowd below reacts with a mix of awe and terror, their faces filled with astonishment and concern. This illustration originally appeared in La Domenica Del Corriere on July 19-26,1914, capturing an extraordinary news item that captivated France at that time. It serves as a reminder of both the dangers and allure associated with taming wild creatures for entertainment purposes. Beltrame's use of color lithography adds vibrancy to this dramatic moment, highlighting every detail - from the intricate patterns on the tent to each individual's expression in response to this daring escape attempt. This artwork not only showcases Beltrame's talent as an illustrator but also offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century circus culture and its impact on society. Overall, this print immortalizes an unforgettable event where freedom triumphs over confinement while raising questions about our relationship with wildlife and our responsibility towards these magnificent creatures.
