EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and action-packed lithograph captures a thrilling scene atop the Pasteur Institute in Paris. The illustration, created by Achille Beltrame, depicts an eventful hunt for a mischievous chimpanzee named Charlot who had managed to escape from his captors. The chaotic scene unfolds on the rooftop as a crowd gathers below, anxiously watching the daring pursuit unfold. Policemen armed with sticks attempt to catch the agile chimp as it leaps from ledge to ledge, evading capture with remarkable agility. The rooftops of Paris serve as both playground and refuge for this clever escapee. Amidst the commotion, curious onlookers peer out from nearby windows and chimneys while others take cover beneath their hats. The city's skyline provides a dramatic backdrop as trees sway in the wind, adding an element of nature's wildness to this urban spectacle. Beltrame's vivid colors bring life to every detail - from the clothing worn by those involved in the chase to the intricate architecture of each building. This print not only showcases Beltrame's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with animals and our relentless pursuit when they stray beyond our control. As we gaze upon this image captured over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness this extraordinary event that unfolded high above the streets of Paris – an unforgettable moment frozen forever through artistry and imagination.
