EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour litho print by Achille Beltrame that captures a significant moment in history. The scene depicts German civilians fleeing from Spartacist troops during post-war turmoil, only to be stopped and searched by Belgian soldiers. This powerful illustration was originally featured in Courier Sunday between 11th and 18th April 1920. In this chaotic setting, we see men, women, and children crossing the bridge with their luggage and belongings. The refugees carry bags and suitcases filled with their most precious possessions as they embark on an uncertain journey towards safety. Belgian soldiers meticulously inspect documents and passports of those passing through, ensuring order amidst the chaos. Beltrame's attention to detail brings this historical event to life – from the weary expressions on people's faces to the military precision of the armed forces present. The composition highlights both masculine strength and feminine resilience as men lead their families across the bridge while women courageously face an unknown future. This print serves as a poignant reminder of human displacement during times of conflict. It showcases not only individual stories but also reflects broader themes such as migration, refuge, and survival. "On the Homberg Bridge" invites viewers to contemplate the impact of war on ordinary lives while appreciating Beltrame's skillful portrayal of this pivotal moment in history.
