EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A sports novelty in Libya" captures the vibrant atmosphere of a camel race at the Bu-Setta racecourse in Tripoli. Taken by renowned Italian illustrator Achille Beltrame, this colour lithograph showcases the excitement and tradition of this unique sporting event. The image transports us to a dusty desert track surrounded by towering palm trees and cheering crowds. The flags of various colonies wave proudly, representing the imperial influence on this North African nation. Camels, adorned with colorful blankets, sprint towards victory as they compete for glory in this ancient sport. Beltrame's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of the barrier system that separates racers from spectators, ensuring a fair competition. The winner emerges triumphantly amidst the cheers and applause from enthusiastic onlookers. This artwork not only celebrates athleticism but also serves as a testament to Libya's rich cultural heritage. It highlights how traditional customs intertwine with colonial influences during this period. Displayed within private collections worldwide, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate Beltrame's artistic talent while immersing themselves in the beauty and diversity of Libyan traditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the power that art holds in preserving history and capturing moments that transcend time itself.
