EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant print captures the devastating impact of war on innocent children during the tumultuous period in Finland. The illustration, created by Achille Beltrame in 1940 for The Courier Sunday, portrays a heart-wrenching scene that evokes deep emotions. The image depicts a group of children leaving their homeland behind as they embark on an uncertain journey to safety. With war permeating every corner of Finland, it becomes evident that no child should remain in this dangerous environment. The artist emphasizes the urgency and gravity of the situation by highlighting that war is not confined to borders but has engulfed every aspect of life. In this moment captured by Beltrame's skilled hand, we witness both despair and hope intertwined. As these young souls depart for Sweden, where peace still prevails, they carry with them a glimmer of optimism amidst the chaos. Their departure symbolizes a desperate attempt to shield them from further harm and preserve their innocence. Through this illustration, we are reminded of the immense toll war takes on society's most vulnerable members – our children. It serves as a stark reminder that even amid conflict and destruction, preserving their lives must be our utmost priority. Beltrame's work prompts us to reflect upon the countless lives disrupted by warfare while urging us to strive for peace so that no more children have to endure such hardships again.
